Just sitting here comparing the AllStar to a '07 Allegro Bus parked next to us. Although the Bus is $50k more the basic outside structure, finish, paint, moldings, components are pretty much the same on both. The Bus uses more expensive slide toppers but the AllStar has a much nicer finished front door(moldings are painted to match, etc.). They both have misaligned components/panels, paint swirls, etc. The AllStar also has much better finished moldings(curves are uniform, cracks are not exposed, top fits better to the side,etc.). Since we were not considering any other coach than the garage model Newmar, at time of puchase, we really had not sat down and compared appearance, workmanship, component quality, etc. In summary: "Way to go Newmar"

Are you sure those "paint" swirls are not "mud" swirls and that those cracks you see are not the dried out remnants kicked up from all those Alaskan gravel-ways you have been traveling on??? How can you even see what under all that muck???
Go Newmar and Go Dav5942!!!
BTW - How are the Cruzin Coolers holding up way up yonder?

Just got back from the World Gold Panning Championships here in Dawson City, Yukon.

Yeah our swirls were there when we bought it and our neighbors showed up after we washed off the "top of the world highway mud/dust". He also ran off the road near where two others went off one of which was demolished(Class A-passengers were fine). He was lucky, didn't go over the edge-got pulled out by a tow truck 6 hours later!
Cruzin Coolers and ATVs are doing great, have not ridden the Harley(roads too rough and too much traffic).
