First Coach, 1999 Newmar Dutch Star DPDS3862

Been a member for a little while, asked a lot of question. Some, I am sure, were a bit odd...being a newbie and all. But most were very patient, answered my questions, made suggestions and gave me the confidence to know what I was looking at/for and when the time came (yesterday) to make an informed purchase. A 1999 coach was a few years older then we intended on buying but when I saw it, drove it, saw all the records and the obvious care it had received, and only 55K miles, I wrote the check and the 99 Dutch Star is now ours..Coach is still at the sellers location, stored inside while I do the title work, get WI plates/tabs and insurance, etc. Go back Saturday to bring our "new" first time coach home. Pretty darn excited! Now if it would stop snowing here in WI!!!

Congratulations ! You're going to love the Newmar. The 1998 to 2000 years were great and I think are now one of the best buys in a quality diesel coach

Welcome to iRV2. I really enjoy welcoming Wisconsin members. We were camping in your area last summer and visited the brewery. Enjoy your coach. We are presently in FL enjoying ours. It was -2 when we left to come down here.

The picture that started the buying process. Coach still at sellers, while I transferred title, got plates and insurance. Probably a good thing as we got @3" of snow last night and now high winds. So Saturday is the day to bring her back to WI!

I will have more pictures once we get home. Still pretty darn excited.
