Newmar dealers in Northern California

[rebelsbeach]

Coachlight's Marty Lown and North Trail's "Diesel Dan" are here in Nappanee...No sign of anyone from Lee Litchfield's store.

Guaranty RV has also signed on as an "all but LADB" full line dealer...With Marathon and several other Prevost shops so close to them, I was told by the Guaranty rep they just don't see selling the LADB at this point...

Interestingly Guaranty is not featuring Newmars at their Luxury Showcase Lot - They are only available at their Factory Outlet Lot. As for LADB - has anyone seen the huge inventories of behemoth 45' motorhomes in the Junction City area?
I believe the industry hasn't done it's homework to see if there is a market for these $700+ thousand RVs. There has to be over $60 million only on the Marathon Lot (not to mention Monico) = No Buyers!
Another point missed by potential buyers - there are many of the most beautiful/scenic roads that will not handle RVs over 40'.

Rick....hold on one second Sir.

Guaranty JUST took on Newmar before the International Rally and they were gracious enough to allow Newmar to divert many of their allotted coaches to our Newmar Kountry Klub Rally here in Gillette,WY.

Guaranty will stock TWO King Aires, as is the requirement for a dealer to have the King Aire line...

As we speak, (as I type??) the crew from Guaranty and/or Newmar is preparing to leave here with the display coaches from the show.

In regard to their not being an Essex on the tour display when someone was there, I was there for two weeks recently and there was an Essex there all but the last few days I was there, as that particular Essex was here in Gillette along with several other of the tour display coaches.
Remember, the Kountry Klub International Rally is Newmar's rally for it's members....Over 750 coaches/towables here as one big family.

I spoke personally with the Guaranty rep and was told they'll carry everything but the LADB.

With respect to your comment regarding &lt;40 foot coaches, we all have to make a decision on what "type" of camping we choose to do...
While I'm not looking to do many State Parks, I have in fact had my coach and toad in a State Park in Mercer,PA.
I understand that's not the norm, but I didn't buy my coach as a coach I intended to traverse the State Parks with...

I did find two King Aire models on the web at Tom Johnson's Camping Center in NC. Has anyone on this forum dealt with them? We're looking to deal with someone who gives great pricing. Since we're going to be full-timers, a local dealer is not necessary, although a dealer who gives good service in addition to great pricing is always a plus.

I have dealt with Tom Johnson since 1999. They price very well and you can still do some negoitating. I use a guy by name of Pete Maclean - he is straight shooter and real gentleman.

Nice catch ED!!

Seems I've spent so many good times with the techs and staff while in Nappanee, I even THINK I'm in Nappanee...

[soricobob]

If you know what you should spend, speak to them about price. If they want the sale, they'll deal.

Thanks for all the great info.

We'll give Newmar a call soon.
