... to the public on Newmar's website.

You now send an email request to Newmar for a price sheet one at a time by model and floor plan.

I’m sure there’s a good reason but I find that very annoying.

Those price and option sheets were definitely useful when planning for our Bay Star. I wonder if this is to coerce potential buyers to work more with the dealer on the custom ordering process and offload some of the direct work with Michelle.

If they don't have as much pride in their prices as they have in their coach, I'd be concerned about overall value.

You can still price a coach using the Build A Coach function but doesn't seem to break down the pricing after you have added options.

I would guess they are getting ready for a price increase.

Maybe on the price change. But the dealer portal that used to have all of the current and old price sheets has also been changed and is now password protected.

It's probably not nearly as nefarious as it might seem. I mean, they're giving them out freely if you call and ask, apparently.

Wow ! This was so helpful to me. I’m sure this stems from dealer complaints, we were able to build and then shop multiple dealers without our local dealers even capturing our emails to market to us. We were getting to where dealers weren’t that important for information. It’s bloody out there with demand so hi and dealers running out of 2018’s with so many months before they see 2019’s

Allowing Newmar and dealers to obtain your info to market to. It’s good business on their part, sucks for us[emoji853]

Call Newmar for price sheets.

Somebody tell me where the logic is in that plan?

As I have said before, bad for us good for local dealers and Newmar. Before you could go on and build away until your hearts content, without the Newmar and the local dealer even knowing we were in the market, never having contact selling Newmar and local dealer value. Then some of us went to dealers 3,000 miles away to purchase. All can still be done, just local dealer and Newmar will know we are potential customers.
As supply remains low and demand high, it will most likely get tighter. Stuart.
