Newmar Newbie takes the plunge!

Hello all,

I have been lurking here for some weeks and finally pulled the trigger on a 2004 Newmar DS 4009 with 64k mi. Just arrived home (Delaware coast) from purchasing the coach in Illinois. The previous owner had maintained it very well. Quite a step from our previous RV's (Winnie View and a 34' TT). With 370 hp, loads of torque, Allison tranny, and Jake brake, I feel that I have reached the Promised Land. Of course, I haven't dished out for any $$$ major repairs yet. Pricing out "extended warranties" now, and I had engine oil analysis done through JG (Barney and Tom) prior to purchase.

Thanks to all on this forum who responded to my pesky questions.

Let the new adventure begin!
