Bad News

Bad News:
I am going to retire for the 3rd and last time (Good News). This will happen Dec 31, 2016 at which time I will cease selling any products, parts or services.

Really Bad News:
I have sold my 2004 Newmar Mountain Aire. It's time for me to hang it up. Long trips are not as fun as they use to be, we were only using the rig once a month for local club outings and the cost of having it out weighed the usage.

Good News
I will continue to keep the web site updated as your guys find problems and fixes. Just shoot me an email and I will add your info to the web site.

Take care of yourself.

Like others have said you will be missed! I have referenced your web site many times looking for info so I am glad it will stay up.

Thanks again Oemy - your support for the workhorse family has been great!

I too hate to hear that you have decided to hang it up and retire. Even worse that you sold your Mountain Air. I know that time will come for us all when we need to make changes and move on with our life. Although I've only been around here for a year and a half, I stumbled onto your website early on and found some valuable information there that helped me learn about my new to me rig. Thanks for leaving the website up as there really is a wealth of good information there. Enjoy your retirement Oemy.

So Dale, where the hell do I ship all these faulty parts I've purchased from you. Just kidding of course. I too would like to say "thanks", for all you have contributed to this web site over the years. I really appreciate your intent to keep your web site up and running. Stay well, stay retired, enjoy life!

Thanks all... But, I plan to stick around and be a "Guest Commentator". I just won't have a test bed for projects and upgrades.

Lee, I have a 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0 Turbo that I am messing with. I turned 144.3 mph in the Texas Mile. I also have a 2010 Hemi Challenger that I have mad a few mods to. I also ran it at the Texas Mile at 154.9 mph. Now that the rig is gone I sm looking at a Corvette. But, I need to sell my tow car and 1 project car (83 Monte Carlo SS) first. Lasty I have been building a few AR15's just in case of a Zombie Apocalypses.

Thanks so much Omey, for all the years of high quality support and contributions to us Workhorse owners.

There's no Dale Jr to take over? Maybe Jon can take over incognito.

Enjoy life, every day is precious.

Aloha,
Bill

Dale,

Thanks for all that you have done. Since you like cars, I have a suggestion for a road trip for you to take If you have not seen it, you need to visit Hemi Hideout near Brookshire Texas Hemi Hideout | A Different Type of Event Center

Then catch lunch a The Cafe at Brookwood.

Enjoy your retirement!

Don
