Just left Friday morning. Can’t believe how good the warranty service was.

On the question of restaurants, the Dutch Kitchen has a great breakfast at a good price. For pub types, the Goshen Brewing Company is great. They have had a different menu every time I have been in. Had duck tacos one time! They’ve gotten pretty eclectic lately, so if you hate nu’wa you probably should skip. The barbecue at coppes is good along with rocket science ice cream [emoji509].

This code will only be valid from the day prior to thru the day after you scheduled appt. Once in CN look for an open space...no sewer hoses, chairs, cones, etc. It seemed to me the Pull Thru spaces were the most desirable. There’s plenty of room to unhook your Toad. We choose a backin space that was to the Left and backed up to the apartments. My thinking was this would be the best area IF the Train Whistles might be a bother. We were concerned about the Train Whistles, but in reality it was not an issue at all.

You’ve received some great advice! Your experience at CN should be a good one!

Just a minor correction; we arrived Friday pm and it is the last four (4) of your VIN #, NOT the last 4 of your production number. Clearly stated on the sign of instructions at the key pad. They did however make the decision to leave the entry gates “up and locked” presumably until Monday morning.
The center pull throughs are for NEWMAR factory deliveries only. Ask me how I know. . . I parked in a pull through before I read the sign .🤣

Another question...is there a parking lot for trailers? We need to park a trailer with car and motorcycle before we park the coach.

Yes, as you face the Service Center to the left you see a smaller bldg (not part of Newmar), just behind it Newmar built a storage lot for trailers and other things they need to store - they said it is not protected, so they aren't responsible for any loss. I am not sure how you get in or out - they were just building it when I was there.

If you check with Susan at the front desk she can get someone to come out and guide you to the trailer lot. At least she did for a gentleman when I was there last week.

Thanks! We found it. Great directions.

The center pull thru lots are for Newmar use only. They now have a nice metal sign that is secured to the concrete that says just that. The sign is locked in the up position until Newmar unlocks it for a coach, and then it lays flat allowing the coach to drive over the top.

Very slick setup.

Cool, gotta love that idea!!!

I suppose some will start carrying bolt cutters

How long before one gets plowed over?

redbaron73 · 09-10-2019, 04:26 AM

They are using heavy bolts into the concrete. I wonder how the snow plows are going to be able to clear the middle rows?

So why did Newmar put the signs up? We've used the back-ins in the past.

Jermes80 · 09-11-2019, 10:29 AM

Interesting how the pet lounge is always full and the non pet lounge is usually empty.

We’re arriving on Sept. 23rd for our first service visit. Our appt. is scheduled for 3 days. Do we have to leave on the 3rd day or can we stay overnight and leave the next morning?

Your gate code will be active the day before your appointment through the day after your service.
