Any Newmars have 7' headroom. I went to a consignment lot this weekend and realized @ 6'2" - many of the Newmars seemed to have rather low headroom.

It depends on the year.

My '07 Dutch Star has a 7' ceiling.

In the early 2000's Newmar started increasing the interior height.

My 09 Ventana has 7' ceilings, not that I've measured. I'm an inch taller than you and have plenty of headroom.

I hear ya - I have narrowed my search down to used Tiffins and Newmars but the ceiling height is gonna be a big factor for me. Anybody know when the Dutch Star went to higher ceilings (is it a ceiling in a MH?? ) ? Thanks again

Hi Drop In,
For a couple of years (03-05?) Newmar made a Northern Star. It was a DSDP with a high ceiling. Consider looking for a Northern Star.

That sounds a bit too low.
