I found this in the Dallas Morning News, watched it and noticed it looked Newmar.

So, can you tell: the year and floorplan model?

The coach appears to be a 2008 Essex, unknown floorplan but not a rear bath for sure.

I am not sure if the newmar giveaway was the cow pattern ceiling or the first few letters of Essex on the headrest.

Looks like a 4510

Yep, definitely an EX - note the Gateway Cow ceiling! Also, the embroidered seats at the end...

Looks like a lightly customized all electric 4510 with the kitchen sink on the off door side corner...

Wow.... that's funny!

Newmar comes out with the LADB supposedly to "compete" with the Prevost crowds of NASCAR and several of them are buying Essex coaches...

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction....

Hey Bob, Maybe he wanted the front door thing of an Essex or Prevost. Speaking of which, that is this weeks blog. HERE

Nice comments Peter.... I know from experience that, in my LADB anyway it was not a family coach floorplan even if I'd left the original dinette. With truly only one couch to sit on and the front drop down tv making the driver/passenger seats useless for tv viewing you were forced to use the dinette as seating.... Not so bad for just my daughter and I as she was always doing something at the table and watching tv, but with more than two people in that coach it's a bit hairy.
As we all know, the rest of the LADB story for both me and Newmar is history.

My favorite "family" style floorplan had to be the 4502.

Geez, now we've hijacked the thread....

Well, I finally was able to speak with Kim Wallace, Kenny's wife, at Gateway Speedway last week.

The Essex actually belongs to Rusty Wallace and for is son, Steve, who is a driver in the Nationwide Series.

Kenny and Kim own a Tiffen Zehpyr.
