I have read that Newmar changed the dutchstar after 2008. Have they lowered the quality? What are the actual differences? I have found a 2009 4333 that is priced below 200K with low miles. It is a long way to go look at it want some info before we make the investment to go look. Or should I concentrate my efforts and try to find 2008 model. Thanks in advance.

Welcome nwokhunter to Newmar forum & irv2.
Both years the DS's would not be a difference in quality the change in 08 would be the addition of Comfort Drive steering which is in all models since 08.
I'm sure others will have comments.

I don't think that reduced quality is an accurate description, but features were changed/removed to lower the price point in 2009.

In 2009, Newmar reduced the features of the Dutch Star significantly and introduced the Dutch Aire as a replacement.

The Dutch Aire is no longer being made and I believe the Dutch Star is getting back to it's previous level of features.

Geez eh! I thought this one I could answer real good! A Year? Like about 12 months!
I didn't know it was going to be a technical question.

I e-mailed all the Amigos and told them I thought they could finally answer a forum question correctly and to get on right away before someone else figured it out. Of course they had to use a calculator. Finally they sent the numbers, 2008 and 2009 to The Bean Counter, Lane, and bingo, the right answer.

So..........Alex,......What is 1 year.

Just a little humor, unless you guessed 2 years, then it would be wrong.
I did not have the answer to the question, but just let the poster know that there are folks reading.
