New Newmar

We just traded our 2007 Coachmen Concord for a new 2009 Newmar Allstar. Very excited. Two young sons and plan to do lots of traveling this summer. This coach is very different from our Concord. Lots to learn so that's why I joined here. No pics yet.

Congratulations those are nice. Did you get the "tailgater" floorplan?
enjoy it

Yes, it is a 4156, with a room in the back that will be finished as a bunk room.

Ah, that's the Imagination Room floorplan. Love it! Pics please, particularly as you finish it.

I like my Ventana, but I often wish I'd bought the 4156 or 4154. Did you get the one that's been for sale for a while in Minnesota?

Congratulations travelbug on your new Newmar and good choice
4156 coach.
Welcome to irv2 and come and join us down in the Newmar forum.

Yes, I did get the 4156 in Mn. -- Nice folks. We found a used 4154 at another place that I really, really loved but we couldn't come to terms with them. Can't believe Newmar quit making those 4154s. Ended up with a new coach for less $$. Hubby likes the engine better. In floor heat is amazing. I don't like the floor plan as well, or the pergo look-alike but once the back is done I hope I will like it better. I can tell my boys "go to your room"!

Will definitely share pics once it's done. It was a dream to drive. Drove it home mostly in one day from Mn to Il and hubby said it didn't faze him.

007--thanks for the welcome to the Newmar forum. Are you a tough moderator?

I will definitely come on over there with lots of questions. Have already had some pop up. Our steps got stuck in the extended position the first night at Wal-mart on the way home!

Congrats. We just got a new Dutch Aire 4317. Love it. Can't wait to get back on the road.

Hi travelbug,
Welcome to iRV2. Congrats on the new AllStar. Many happy miles are ahead of you. iRV2 and especially the Newmar folks are like family. Come here often and post the questions. Before you know it, you'll be answering as many questions as you post. I look forward to reading your posts.

Welcome to the Newmar family. I have been truly satisfied with my motor home. The Newmar site will provide you with answers to any question.

Thanks all,

We are working with Newmar to finish up the back room of our coach and I will post updates on the owner's forum. They emailed us a plan for bunk beds. The mattress in the plan is only 24" wide, so that concerned me a bit. We are going to have to see if we can tweek that a bit. My boys are skinny but they may not be forever. I will come over to the owner's forum and post a couple of questions after I talk to them.

I am glad to hear there are so many happy Newmar owners. My husband talked to several people on the phone at the factory and he was impressed with them so far.

Thanks again!
