Newmar Factory Tour 2016-07
We took our second factory tour at Newmar this morning, this one led by Roxy who was super knowledgeable.
I think that they replaced the radio headsets since we took our last tour a few months ago, so we were able to hear well. The floor was booming & busy, so we got to see lots of interesting build activity.
There were three coaches available for walk through after the tour - a Ventana, Dutch Star, and Mountain Aire (IIRC). I like the interior color scheme on the 2017 Dutch star except for the countertop choices. Also not super fond of having that same countertop in the bedroom, but I guess it's there for the washer/ dryer.
I love the rear emergency exit doors they are putting in (certain models & floor plans).
I definitely found my preferred exterior colors - unfortunately it's different from DH's. 😜 Someone's special order ALL BLACK paint DS was finished also but they didn't let us walk through it. I am curious about its intended home and the interior config/ colors, but I suspect my curiousity shall remain unsatisfied :-)
We stayed at Pla-Mor campground down the street this time. They were super nice and our site was perfect. Great ice cream also :-)
Interesting fact learned on today's tour: there can be between 1-5 *MILES* of electrical cable in each Newmar (depends on model & options) and that electrical wiring alone can weigh up to 1000 pounds!
Newmar is currently completing 8 coaches per day, which is about normal so they said. Max would be about ten coaches per day.
