Nice to see someone other than a salesman go through a coach w/ you.

[@ATLJonathanH]

I love that it breaks down while they’re driving it

[@joejones8810]

These RVs truly reflect the idea off freedom of living in America. Merry Christmas and blessings to you Andrew Steel for all of your hard work. May your efforts always generate great profits sir.

[@FunDuude]

Very, very nice. Even has the dual rear br vanity that we love. They also made considerable progress with the wiring. They don't look like birds nests anymore. Great job newmar. Great job Mr. Andrew.

[@EndlessRVing]

Stunning coach. Thanks for sharing

[@philw7174]

Very nice Newmar. Thank you JoJo and Andrew for the tour. Happy trails!

[@duncanjames914]

Gorgeous coach. The interior is beautiful. Merry Christmas!

[@roberthennel]

Andrew, You got me at JoJo. Thanks for recording the knowledge of these guys, I love watching these videos!

Bread is awesome thank you Have a very nice Christmas.

[@winebox]

I really like the large driver’s side winder that opens.

[@lorrieleaver2447]

More than nice. I really like this one! Have a wonderful New Year and I’ll see you in the spring to buy the best you can help me with. Keep them coming please 😉💫

[@alexanderkalesnikoff8566]

Great reviews, Andrew. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you and Shae. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay cool. Look forward to many more videos. Wondering what your next coach is going to be? One day, looking forward to meeting up with you folks.

[@curtisnikel6427]

The King Aire model is nice as it should be. Where the concerns for owners has to be is in 10 years the KA will still look good but the build will have many problems where a 10+ year old Prevost will be just like it was when it was built. I don’t agree with Jojo thought on the drivers seat. A bus air ride seat are usually much more ergonomic and built for long distance driving. All MH builders should be offering an upgrade to better drivers seats. Thanks for the in depth review of this coach. I’m sure your infomercial will help it sell. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022!!

[@curttuundra]

Agree in 10 years from now this motorhome won't be in near the condition of a say 20 or 30 year older Prevost. Fiberglass motorhomes aren't built with tubed stainless steel frame throughout like a Prevost.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Why run it down? The KA is half the price of a Prevost. Andrew has shown many videos of 10 year old KAs that look great. I find Prevosts have the 'charm' of a commercial bus. I've ridden in plenty of those and they shake too on rougher roads. I don't think you need an air ride seat in an RV. For a truck with really stiff suspension sure. I've driven 1100 km in one day in a 35' class A and the seat was not that bad and the KA will have a better seat than that and comfort drive. The woodwork etc by Newmar is beautiful. My preference is the London Aire, but my bank account doesn't agree!

[@rvvideoswiththomyt5263]

I love the comment "a poor mans Newell"! Like the 240 z to the porsche 911! ( wow that may date me!) ThomyT

That is a beautiful Motorcoach

Nice coach! Nice video! Have a Merry Christmas Andrew!

Merry Christmas to you and your family Jeff! Be careful watching these videos or you may want to step up from the Essex to a King Aire 🤣

Merry Xmas Andrew & Shea! 🎄🍻

New to this type of videos ... But i will take it it's amazing and subscribed to the channel

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

Thank you!

[@Denik-gf5yj]

stunningly beautiful !!! I would have traveled all over the world like this 😍🤤

[@brian3255]

That's a nice production coach. That would be my dream production coach or a Entegra Cornerstone

[@gethecar]

This is so much nicer than those grey and white coaches that look like they're from Pleasantville

[@jamesmerkel9442]

that stripped pillow at end of video would be nice color pallet.

[@chrisfleming1519]

I've got a couple friends that work at new mar definitely a nice product.

[@kc0lif]

i would definitely camp in that beauty.

I enjoyed this video 👍

[@philipwitt4718]

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family..... and the furry!!!!

[@BeverlyDillon123]

I love it

[@PrevostJoe]

For him to say "it really does ride a lot like a Prevost" is beyond ludicrous. Lets see him say that after 8 hours behind the wheel and not doing 20 mph on a side street... LOL

[@jamespavlinik6481]

Nice coach but one reason it's so quiet inside while riding is that theres nothing in it! Load it up with all the dishes, etc. to hit the road for a month, and I guarantee you will hear all kinds of squeals and rattles.

[@matthewtaylor1697]

Nice rig

[@DLTJR1959]

I would put this even with the Foretravel in production coach quality level. Nothing at all wrong with a King Aire or a Foretravel. Top notch quality. The only thing higher up the food chain is a converted Prevost or Newell. Out of my $$$ level. Will continue to putter around in my 06 Wanderlodge.😁

[@MaximusMerideus]

Would you rather have top of line Newmar or top of line Foretravel? I know for me it would be Foretravel. What say you?

[@curttuundra]

Nice RV for a fiberass. Would attract more buyers if they would one off custom paint these. For $640K you could buy a very nice low mileage Prevost conversion which will out last and out shine any fiberass motorhomes! But great job filming and sharing. Just not a fan of any of these fiberass motorhomes.

[@michaelbayliss1794]

What's the H3-45 made from ?

[@MaximusMerideus]

@@michaelbayliss1794 I believe the H3 is a 45ft Prevost

[@curttuundra]

@@michaelbayliss1794 made from a high strength composite with kevlar. Thicker and much stronger than any fiberglass production coach! However, conversion builders do use fiberglass on the front, rear caps and fenders.

[@joelfrombethlehem]

A beautiful Christmas/Holliday (or anytime) present to myself - if I would win a 5M+ lottery. ThanksAndrew & "Joe - Joe" for presenting this beautiful King Aire.

[@TheCreator34_]

i want this one..

[@lordkevork]

Nice.. but still can’t beat a Prevost conversion in quality.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Perhaps, but a Prevost costs 50% more and in my view still looks like a commercial bus.

[@samuellauvray873]

Bonjour Wouah magnifique ce Motorhome j'adore ce Motorhome il est vraiment trop trop beau ce Motorhome il est vraiment super sympa ce Motorhome

[@jamesvelvet3612]

What is the benefit of the install at 2:50 ? Putting the freezer and hydronic boiler together in the same bay. Some sort of thermal dynamics going on or was it just a handy spot ? Is the freezer a compressor type? A/C power?

[@chrisclark507]

The shower is boss never seen something like it

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Every thing dark not piece meal changed can be remodeled at 15yr. Some thing u just change out any time in shop easy nothing moving to switch it out. Like a floor mat easy or leather diff rp on column

no head rest needs fixing but rest is a bargain for that price, mileage? only ? mark?

Hey Andrew when are you getting your new coach did you decide on the Newell or Prevost?

Yes, coming soon!

[@RVinCA1]

What is asking price ?

[@miguelamaya6246]

We were doing fine until you said, it's got a slide that's too much maintenance for us...

[@justing757]

Do you need a cdl to operate the RV down the road?

[@nomadbiker4040]

CDL not required for recreational vehicles, but some states require non CDL class As

[@henrivanbemmel]

In Canada as well. You would need a 'D' in Ontario. You have to go to a driving school to get it $$ and usually would also have to take an air brake course. The government does not separate commercial trucks and RVs so you have to know how to hook up the air on a trailer and be able to change gears (at least until recently). Remember if you don't have the correct license in the srare/province where it's registered your insurance is probably no good. Sometimes these driving schools are busy and then you may have wait for the test. Sometimes a few months, it's not immediate for sure.

[@ozarkguns1]

I thought the outdoor TV was a miss.

[@COORS5766]

Hey Andrew I own a 2012 Newmar Mountain Aire.. I'll be in Florida next month and want my coach detailed (cut and buff) and ceramic coated, can you recommend a couple detailers that you would trust applying ceramic coating? I said a couple incase everyone is crazy busy! Does the Motor Coach Store offer detailing to outside coaches? Love the videos , I've been following you for a long time, good luck on your "new" coach when you decide which one you are going with! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@notboeingnotgoing5483]

SAUKEN, I am heading to Florida (Keys) on Monday until just after the Daytona 500 (I am a gear head and go to the 24 hr, Daytona 500..etc) I have a local guy coming to detail / wax my XLII in JANUARY. If you are anywhere near the left coast in Florida I have used a number of companies (Incredible Detailing, Detail Express) all near Sarasota. Prices like everything have gone up since last yr (just fueled up for the trip south from the Midwest and got some sticker shock last night)...Be safe on I-75. Great looking King Aire on the video, these more modern coaches are starting to make my 04" Prevost look older in the tooth, have a great time in Florida

[@melolson5646]

Dazzling Detailing does all our the work on our 2022 Millennium. Best in the business. Let me know if you’d like his number.

[@curttuundra]

@@notboeingnotgoing5483 the only thing out there that could make your Bus look older is a Prevost conversion built a year later. These newer fiberass motorhomes have nothing on a Prevost.

[@notboeingnotgoing5483]

@@curttuundra Very true about the superior build quality and ride of the Prevost or Newell, (been fortunate to own both types..but not new) but do I like and appreciate the newer features of the modern coaches. I have spent alot of $$ on my XLII that I know I wont recoup to redo almost everything both inside and outside but this interior looks great on this Newmar. Im looking forward to seeing the next step in the evolution of what Andrews next purchase is, whether that is the Prevost or the Newell they are both great rigs, hope everyone has a great and safe Christmas

[@rightright6582]

What is the interior height? Or he was a tall person?

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

We showed the bathroom height at one point. I am 6' 2" and JoJo is right around 6'

[@rightright6582]

Hence the difference newell vrs kingair among others

[@csigouin1]

The wires...

[@1hasbeen531]

ISX or X15?

[@nomadbiker4040]

605 HP is the X15. This was a 2018 King Aire which is the year they started using the X15 but some 2018s may have the previous year chassis

[@cletustollery6914]

It's hilarious when people refer this as "camping". I'm guessing 99% of owners of this type of unit don't give a damn about maintenance, plumbing, accessibility or anything else. They sure as hell aren't doing any of it.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Well, I guess they have a service centre that does this stuff. In the two class A gas units that I have had (35') both the generators has ORIGINAL oil and filters in them when they were changed. Even at my level, it is a hell of a privilege to own such a unit and I try to take as good care of it as I can. If you have one of these, its a whole new game. Your insurance alone is going to be $2000 a month or more, I would bet. An 'oil change' with the filters and such like will probably be over $1000 and if anything else goes wrong, like air bags or brakes its a LOT of money. So, I guess if you can drop the best part of $2M on such a unit, you are at least willing to take it to the service centre at the appropriate times.

[@axjmd]

Boo Hiss, both of you were rolling down the road without your seatbelts on. Especially you Andrew for walking in the back while the vehicle was in motion. Safety is priority one.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Don't tell my wife, she walks around in our RV all the time. Bathroom, making sandwiches and all the rest. Sometimes has a sleep on the sofa or the bed. Dunno, but I bet lots of folks travel like that in class A RV's. I doubt the folks in a $2.5 million RV are going to sit primly in a chair for the entire ride. I just don't see it.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

72: too dark on inside of whys 1,the price of a prefost or newell

[@henrivanbemmel]

Each to their own of course, but these new units that are all white and black is like living or 'camping' in a bathroom. For me they have the charm of an office meeting room. I'm 60+ so I'm supposed to hate new things, I guess, but give me wood and softer more cozy colours any day.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

wide enough for wheel chair special feature. Judgment in play coming no old pp or blind ppl or deaf ppl or chair ppl allowed soon that game/play long 6k+ over.

[@adventuresfloridatothailan5217]

$633k lol

[@jamesmerkel9442]

after rapture a able bodied person could get sickly crippled or such on this demon earth still.

[@FunDuude]

More like a Poor mans Prevost. Unless a motorhome company makes their own custom chassis from the ground up INhouse, it can't be compared in Anyway (poor man or rich man, lol) to a Newell.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Or its price ...

[@PrevostJoe]

I dont care if its an entry level Class A or the top of the line King Aire, theyre all the same. Same fiberglass box on a truck chassis. The only differences are cosmetic. NEVER will they have the quality, ride or longevity of a Prevost, Newell or Wanderlodge.

[@bubbagump9761]

You need to call it for what it is Steele. Must be a Liberty Prevost guy you have there. He didn't point out it doesn't have inverter bypass switches. 9 golf cart batteries and the def tank is on the wrong side of coach.. 4 minutes of that crap is enough. You been selling this crap long enough you need to learn what your talking about. I told Bob he had to go to confession after you videoed that gem.
