Thor Windsport 29M Versus Newmar Bay Star 3113?

This is a difficult decision for me! Both same size, same engine and frame. Windsport 4000 lbs lighter 18K less money. Both nicely loaded, twin air, 5.5k genset. Please help before my old brain explodes! Thank you very much.

Newmar. My Bay Star Sport has been pretty much trouble-free. The chassis is well balanced weight wise. The exterior is wood free and the graphics are fully painted. Interior woodwork is excellent. You get what you pay for (if you're lucky).

if the Miramar is not going to make the grade, the Windsport doesn't stand a chance (except for the price difference).

I have a TT, I wish I had a Newmar. I can tell you that a quality TT is not the lightest TT. The same is true with MH's. Look at the resale of Newmar vs Thor. There is a reason. Buy the Newmar.
