Opinions on Newmar Dutch Star
I'm looking at a 1999 Dutch Star with the Cummins 8.3L diesel pusher. It only has 1 owner who has taken care of it through factory or dealerships. It has 150k miles from their full time use for years....

Thanks! I did make it home safe and in one piece. I have had a TT for 10 years and rented a Class C twice and briefly owned a Class A gasser but this has more systems than I am used to. I have read the chassis guide and the coach guide but there are still some things I am unsure of but with time and asking questions I am sure this process will be fun.
I will take it in this week into a RV dealership the previous owners used locally that will go over my list of issues so hopefully it will be vacation ready by the end of the month.

Thanks everyone for their info and suggestions. I got the motorhome and made a 1100 trip home only had to make some adjustments for the alternator inop. I am not learning about the systems and trying to clean it up for the season!
Congratulations!!!
You made it home, a few bumps, and you are now on an exciting new journey!
IMHO, you made it through the "biggest" hurdle- will it run and drive reliably? check :)
I would first concentrate on the "don't get stranded" stuff and "don't get more damaged" things like the roof, water leaks, electrical shorts, etc.
THEN, after you get all that boring stuff done, you can get started putting shag carpeting on the ceiling :p LOL.
How about some pics? Keep us updated on your journey and restoration!
Again, Congratulations :)
