It's still winter there, so they might be able to squeeze you in. Depends on how many people took advantage of the winter rates. No idea on how crowded the lot is. Only the main lot will have water this time of year. I'm sure the overflow lot has spaces, but you would need to both fill and dump at the main lot.

Camping spots are open in the lot next to the Customer Service building, they keep some plowed so people can drop off and pick up their coaches during the winter. When I was there there were at least 8 plowed.

Like FlyingDiver said, give them a call, they may be able to accommodate you, (800) 731-8300.

We have been at Newmar for two weeks and hope to leave next Wednesday. However when we got to Camp Newmar we were the only ones there and we were greeted by lots of snow...I now know why we were sooooooo lonely.

What are the road conditions

danleininger · 03-15-2014, 08:48 PM

Roads are great! Check for flooding on the secondary roads. Heres a link that should help.

Well got up here yesterday afternoon. Lots of parking, but there's mud everywhere.
One of the pleasures of warmer temps I guess. So, when we pulled in I went inside and saw Jeannie, we chatted for a little and she gave me the lay of the land. Then I noticed the parts store and I was like a kid in a candy store. Needless to say I bought a couple of things, but I've got a feeling I'll be going back.
It was strange to see this much snow on the ground. I've spent the last 13+ years south of I 10, we've had the A/C on already this year. I'm very much looking forward to getting to meet some of the people I've talked to on the phone, and getting the work done. This mornings meet and greet with the service people should give a better picture of plan of action and if we're going to be able to sleep in the coach at night.
I'll try to post some pictures, if anyone has any specifics let me know. Or if you need small parts, we're going to be heading to the Chattanooga, TN area after here, then back to MS. If we can fit them we'd be happy to pick them up.

You're there two weeks ahead of us. Sure hope you're gone before we get there 3/31. Have Fun.

JohnT - been in a hotel for 3 days finally getting the coach back today. Sorry but I guess we're not going to be here when you get here. Dress warm it's still cold here.

Warm??? I live 200 miles Northeast.

We just confirmed all of our work with Phil. Great group of people to work with. Looking forward to getting there next Sunday.

JohnT-

I'll be getting there on the 30th for my appointment on the 31st also.

Well guys we started off coming up here to get the roof radius repainted and recleared. Then decided to have the ride height adjusted and balanced. We had the mid-coach TV removed and had a pantry built for the spot where the TV was. And lastly had the nonfunctioning air horns replaced. I was amazed at how inexpensive all that work was.

The DW loves the pantry, but more importantly she said she'd like to get a new one in a couple of years.

The one thing that I didn't experience, but wouldn't like is that the owner of a MA, EX, or KA has to take their coach to the high line repair building every morning. It's not that far, but I can see that it would get old quick.
