We enjoy our coach very much. The issues have been normal coach and drive train problems. The full wall slide has been the worst headache. The cover would not wind up at times and hold the top of slide out about an inch then the roller in the middle of the slide cover tried to roll out of the trough and got all jammed up but still nothing that stopped us from traveling. Girard has a updated trough that is taller and shorter to resolve this problem for about $50.00. That was kind of a pain to install but has solved all of the problems. Also the tank level system is junk or at least the tank pads are the fall off and then don`t read any level. Replace that with a seelevel system and problem solved. Check the transfer switch screws for tightness and corrosion. Ours failed due to corrosion on the contacts. Some of the KIB wall switches have failed very easy to replace. The front A/C unit failed. Check the fan gear box for leaks. Also check the slide motor mount bolts. As far as power goes we have traveled all over the west towing a Tahoe and we do fine just don`t be in a hurry. Just check the coach over to insure everything works as it should. Remember that 2011 is a transition year some have DEF some do not.
Good Luck

I also purchased a 2011 in 2010. I ordered it. I have the same problems, tank sensors,front ac, transfer switch. If you do not know how to work a screw driver do not buy a RV. I think Newmar is one of the best built for the money. Overall, I am happy with my Newmar.
