Flexsteel

Who is Newmar using for its furniture now that flexsteel is no longer in the rv business ? I haven’t had a chance to look at any 21’s

The Flexsteel’s in my 2019 are peeling, at 8 months/6,000 miles. In discussing a warranty repair Newmar told me they use several vendors and are working to find more or for existing ones to ramp up production. I was told they are having trouble keeping up with their production schedule and that they won’t be able to address my warranty need until after the first of the new year. So I can’t actually answe your question save to suggest that there is no single answer.

I was in Nappanee last month and was told Villa is providing all of the new furniture. But they will still be using Newmar-spec'd coverings, so one can only hope that that lesson has been learned.

I know that Newmar has started using Williamsburg furniture in place of Flexsteel on many of their 2021 models. That's according to numerous product videos I have seen.

Interesting , my 03 Beaver has all Villa and it still looks almost new , but I’m sure they can spec whatever. Maybe villa in the high end and Williamsburg in the lower ?
I’ve been looking again but every time I start thinking time to trade I keep finding reasons to not. Kind of discouraging.

I'd say the Williamsburg is the high-end because that is what they're putting in the $1M+ King Aire.

That is because Williamsburg is new to the RV industry but not the furniture industry. Only time will tell if they hold up.
