That one looks well built and well maintained, at least.

If you need more information Gene's Workshop, LLC in Milford, Indiana is the guy to call. He was part of the NEWMAR design team and help build the few coaches they built. He can tell you what to look for as far as problems with them and he had one sitting behind his shop he was going to repair. You can look up his phone number on the web. Great guy to talk to.

Thanks everyone for your input, it is always good info.

They carried no propane because they were all electric as I remember. I had a '03 Mountain Aire for 10 years and it was the best MH I ever owned. My Roadtrek is also great and I have hopes for my antique GMC.

Was very pricey for the space you got and I remember very low towing rating.

There is one for sale on RVT.com

I saw one once in Mesa ,while waiting for some repairs to me done to Our then Trailer.
Size wise it wasn't much if any bigger than those other Cool Small Motorhomes made by General Motors. It was really nicely finished.

That is an unusual and cool looking MH. Never seen one before. I can testify to Newmar quality in that time frame though, in general you will not find better construction quality or service support anywhere.

Thanks is it a good short diesel pusher?
It was only made 1 or 2 years and stopped.
We are looking for a very short class A.
And came upon the Newmar Newaire
Any thoughts
And thanks in advance
Regards

What advice do you need?

[Mr_Mark1]

I've never seen a Newmar like that one. It is very nice looking. I see it doesn't have awnings if that is important to you.

The first phone call that I would make is to Newmar to see if they still support that chassis, or if there is another company to support. If you buy it and ever need chassis parts, you might have some down time if they are not quickly available.

Good luck, cool looking motorhome!

PS. The company states that they have been in business since 1917..... I wonder what they sold at the beginning?

They were introduced and almost immediately dropped by Newmar. An Orphan motorhome in less than 1 year. Doug
