Newmar or Spartan for service

Making a trip through the Midwest later this year. Looking to having my annual service items on my 10 year old Spartan chassis addressed, shocks replaced and jacks serviced. Any recommendations on which is better for service - Newmar in Nappanee or Spartan in Charlotte? The Spartan 44 point inspection looks like a good starting point.

For the items, you outlined, definitely Spartan. We have all our work done by either Newmar or Spartan -- chassis is Spartan and house is Newmar. Both are great.

You ought to call and make an appointment right now. Both of them get very busy and available appointments, even this early, can be months away.

I made an appointment with Spartan a couple of weeks ago and they were mostly booked through June.

The Spartan-Charlotte facility is our default if we can get in when the timing suites us otherwise, we've had Newmar Factory Service in Nappanee do our K3 chassis service as well as more recently, NIRVC in Lewisville, TX. (NIRVC is a platinum Newmar Service Center and their chassis techs have been schooled at Spartan).

FWIW, we also recently attended the 3-day Spartan Training Academy (for coach owners) and found it to be very informative.

I took a look at the Spartan training series and think I'll attend one of their 3-day road shows this year. DOES NEWMAR HAVE ANYTHING COMPARABLE FOR THE COACH?

If typing all caps is "yelling", is all caps in "bold Red" screaming?
