Harley, the Bay Star has 22.5 tires also. The 24 K Chassis has the same steel rating, same axle congfiguration, same braking and springs as 26 K does. The 24 and 26 Chassis have the same tires - which are larger than the 22K chassis.
Canyon Star has more standard features and some options not available on the Bay Star. It really comes down to what a person wants.
Many of the luxury cars come standard with sun roofs - but I hate them - so I buy one step down - why pay for something you don't want - right.
Fortunately, Bay Star is very similar and it only misses two options we want - so it is hard to justify paying $15 k for corian range cover and passenger power seat. Fiberglass roof is ok, but we have had Brite tek for 10 years on our DSDP and been very happy with it. We would like wood finish cabinets, but again just can't see the difference for the cost.
We don't expect to use this coach like we once did the DS, we look at shorter trips and shorter stays. I like both, and it really comes down to what we can get that fits.
One last thought, I really like the new Tiffen 36 UA plan! It has Tiffen's first full body slide and you get a lot more standard features for less money than Newmar offers. It has 4K TV's and has four TV's total including the exterior one. Plus nicer Frig with ice maker, standard solid wood cabinetry and standard fiberglass roof. Just thought I would pass that info along to people looking. I have been very satisfied with Newmar - so I think I will stay with Newmar - if I can get the options I want on the plan we want.
Thanks to everyone for your input!
