Newmar New Aire One Year Review: Do We Still Love Our Motorhome?

[@rvamericayall]

Can you believe we've owned the Newmar New Aire for a full year??? For more of our thoughts on our first year with the New Aire, visit rvtexasyall.com/new-aire/newmar-new-aire-one-year-review . We've also put links to all of our other New Aire videos (including the full tour) in the description of this video in case you'd like to see more.

I’m from Mishawaka, who’s is close to Elkhart and Nappanee. We live in northeast Texas now. I’ve been here since 1976. I loved growing up in the north, but my heart now belongs to Texas. We’re really enjoying your travels, especially all the cool museums.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@leighmcqueeney9848]

Wow. The year has flown!

[@rvamericayall]

Sure has!

[@judyabernathy80]

I’ve never been the first one to listen, but I was today! Whoo whoo! The details about this coach are fascinating! It’s a fine class A. And, you deserve it!! Glad to see you both today!! Kisses to Star and Astro!!♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Judy! 😊

I am embarrassed to say this, but I simply never realized how important and transformative paint can be. That paint job makes your RV stand out over any other similar model that I can see. It is like a free upgrade if you pick the right paint scheme. Certainly worth thinking about paint very carefully.

[@rvamericayall]

This one wasn’t free, we paid an upgrade for these paint colors! Thanks for watching!

[@Coleen_West]

@@rvamericayall ...well, whatever it cost it was worth it.

[@paulvonauth7254]

lol, just stumbled apon this vlog, good stuff!, I could drink beer with this guy!, whoever choose the paint scheme relating to the exterior was wise, it's excellant!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Paul! Maybe one day at a campground we might just sit around a campfire and drink a few!

[@crossroadsrvtravels]

What a Beauty! Love the colors and the quality. Thanks for sharing.

Not only did we hear the horse and buggy go by but we seen it go by in the shiny pant job on your coach:)

[@rvamericayall]

Cool, thanks for pointing that out!

[@ralphweber2522]

Great video, guys! My first time on your channel. I’ve been looking at New Aires and this video was extremely helpful. Thank you and safe travels!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Ralph and good luck in your search for a New Aire, we absolutely love ours! We really got a great deal at NIRVC and have really been happy with them after the sell.

[@mikecaseymotors]

Very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire video and learned so much. You also seem like a very nice couple - stay safe.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Dave! 😊

[@fformer]

Thank you guys, I learned a ton from watching this video! The wife and I are heading towards retirement and are trying to decide which RV will be best for 2 to 3 month long trips. The scary part is, we have never RV'd before in our lives! We have only tent camped. Many people have told us to rent before we buy, but I'm watching videos like yours and I think I'm learning more from watching the videos than I am from renting. Maybe we will run into you guys someday! Thanks again!

[@rvamericayall]

Good luck on your journey, I’m sure you will enjoy your RVing! 😊

Good review. We really love your coach. I had to laugh at Tom's description of manually pulling out the drawers on the storage bays. I just can't see him having the patience to wait on an automatic system. Ha!! We'll see y'all soon.....Howard and Betty

[@kennythurston8383]

Awesome review on your coach. There will always be things that you like and dislike on about everything,but enjoy. If you get a chance, check out Amish Acres , it is close to Nappanee. The place is awesome. Take care.

[@rvamericayall]

We went there last year, cool place

[@RetiredLovingIt]

That’s a huge rig! Hard to believe it’s been a year!

[@rvamericayall]

My Sisrters Subaru has adaptive Cruze control, it's my favorite feature on the car. If someone pulls out, it keeps the distance by braking. Dishwashers arena are always more efficient than hand washing, you wouldn't think so, but my Plummer son says it's true. Jayman...

[@rvamericayall]

Yes, it’s true

[@donmanzano5716]

Thanks great review and very timely as we are getting ready to buy a Newaire Thanks again Don

[@rvamericayall]

We love ours!

[@richardh1773]

Thanks for all the great info! I am really jealous of your incredible battery and charging systems. I just bought a 2022 NA and it is in storage so I don't have access to it at the moment. I am wiring up the toad lights and I need to know if Newmar supplies 12V on the charging pin of the 7-way and if the brake and turn signals are on the same bulb. Best travels!

[@rvamericayall]

Not sure, I would Newmar and ask them. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Coleen_West]

Excellent review! -- QUESTION -- We were considering a pre 2011 RV such as a Beaver or something like that, hopefully 37; or so. However your RV seems to be a great size. Our question is this: how important is avoiding all the EPA "junk" (as we are told it is) on these new engines? Seems like a no-brainier to avoid it but we would be missing out on the adaptive cruise control and auto breaking and new technology if we go older. Is that DEF really that bad and do you find the engine to be ruined because of it? We don't care much about the price of DEF but are very concerned if those engines will prove to be a nightmare of unreliability and have costly repairs.

[@rvamericayall]

With the New Aire on a Freightliner Chasis we have had zero DEF issues. There have been some issues but I’m glad we have the updates of a newer coach because with an older coach you will encounter other issues because of time & wear & tear!

[@TerrySprey]

I’m really interested in thoughts on towing your jeep. Have you been in the west mountains is there enough power in the engine? I’m considering a new site and want to tow a Tahoe 6000 lbs

[@Coleen_West]

So nie! We had to come back and watch this again. Must say this is probably the best looking RV with that paint and love tha size. How has the experience been with engine reliability due to DEF etc.,? I had mentioned it earlier, but we keep getting told that "we must buy and older Beaver" or something like that and all the "they don't make them like they used to..". But yours looks better and has so many new features and I suspect rides much much better. So, how has the reliability been?

[@rvamericayall]

We have had zero DEF problems with this coach. If you buy on on a Freightliner Chassis they have had way less DEF issues than Spartan Chassis, from what we have been told!

[@Coleen_West]

@@rvamericayall ..please let us know if you are selling..I think you got a great one from what we can see.

[@hughgonzalez8958]

When will you do a video on the new electric grill???

[@rvamericayall]

😂 I do need to sneak that in one day soon, thanks!

[@ralphford2252]

Great to see your video! We're in Elkhart today and dropping our 2020 New Aire 3343 off at Master Tech tomorrow for a solar and battery installation similar to yours. Overall we really love our New Aire, but we agree with your love/hate comments too. Have you guys tried turning your recliners around for travel? We turn the forward one around 180 degrees, and the aft recliner goes sideways for travel. It's a pain to do it, but saves on wear and tear on the recliners, and it gives a little more room to get through the aisle. We also took the turntable attachments off the bottoms of the recliners too. Keep up the great videos, we love your channel!

[@rvamericayall]

We were supposed to be at Mastertech but taking a little longer here than expected but we will be at Mastertech sometime next week!

[@benoitfontaine899]

You have such a nice coach, i'm envious! Does the coach have heated floors? No more bbq, at all?

[@rvamericayall]

We do have heated floors that are being worked on as we speak, so we will let everyone know about them soon! Not sure when or if we will have time to do any BBQ videos anytime soon, but always trying! 😊

[@Coleen_West]

Would love to ask, what is your highway MPG if driving say 65 or 60 mph? Not sure what speed you normally cruise at?

[@rvamericayall]

About 7 mpg

[@bookooc5605]

I would have to sell my house and still get a loan to afford one of these, but nice to hear your review.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks

[@roydavis2242]

I'm a Spartan fan. It has been my observation that there have been far more recalls on Freightliners, plus almost all innovative changes came from them. The downside is that Spartan has experienced far more DEF issues. I don't know if you can do this, but I have seen people turn their recliners sideway which makes it easier to walk through.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for the tip on the recliners, we have heard others do that as well, we are going to try that but they are a little tough to turn that way. Luckily our recalls on the Freightliner have been very minimal & wasn’t really an issue on our chassis.

[@karenupp7386]

Go New Aire Owners! Your experiences are pretty much the same as ours. We are still loving our 2019 NA 3341 after full-timing for 3 1/2 years. Question about your space when the slides are in....do you think it is due to your recliners? We have a couch in our 3341 and have more than enough room to walk straight through our coach with the slides in without any problems at all. I am wondering if this is due to the different models (3343 vs 3341) or due to reclining chairs versus the couch.

[@rvamericayall]

It is the recliner’s, they suggested to turn them when traveling, which does work but is a real pain! We replaced them recently!

[@psujeepjohn]

Such a great and informative video. Great to learn more about likes/dislikes after actually living in the coach. Curious, how did you decide motorhome vs 5th wheel/travel trailer when you decided to go full time?

[@rvamericayall]

If you are going to move a lot and not just stay in one place for longer periods of time I believe a motorhome is much easier to travel with & quicker to setup & then break back down for travel.

[@mgabrysSF]

@@rvamericayall I can summarize in one word. "Winterize".

[@wantsomething3319]

Like I said adaptive cruise control is great, but my foot always hovers over the brake just in case the computer fails. Jayman...

[@rvamericayall]

Absolutely

[@kathyinwv250]

Since you're over 12' tall have you come upon any underpasss that caused you to make detours?

[@rvamericayall]

Nope, none because our GPS knows our height & we also double check our route with Google & truckers apps to make sure we are OK. ✊ on wood it stays that way!

[@dannysampson398]

Really interested to see the next video on the comparison on the difference between the tiffin and the newmar facilities with repairs and service, how long are you having to wait there at newmar compared to tiffin ?

[@rvamericayall]

It should be good! 😊

[@dandrecarpenter2940]

Love your videos! What was your experience building the coach, special order?

[@rvamericayall]

Really very easy, just like building a house!

[@gregorydavis6516]

Two questions: 1.) Do you have heated floors in this RV? and 2) any steering problems?

[@rvamericayall]

Yes on the floors but that’s one of our warranty items and no steering problems that I know of!

[@dpfreeman1]

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Pam

[@kimmurphy1683]

How do you stay warm ans cook in cold climates boondocking for a week without propane?

[@rvamericayall]

We are all electric but our furnace, which is our Oasis runs off our diesel fuel!

[@rollingeezer]

In 2019 we bought our Tiffin Phaeton but were real close to buying the 2019 Ventana. Two things you didn't mention that I really liked about the Ventana was the Star Chassis/Comfort Steering and the fact that all the slides are flush against the body so the slide is not protruding out at all. I found these two features to be huge benefits to Newmar. There were two reasons we didn't buy the Ventana. The first was the model we wanted did not offer a king bed option. We liked the rectangular shower and they only offered that on one 40' model but that model only had a queen bed. The second reason was the vent over the induction cooktop vented inside the coach instead of outside the coach. Has Newmar corrected this issue?

[@rvamericayall]

If you order the Newmar you can ask for the exterior vent, as an additional cost of course. The Phaeton is good choice as well! Safe Travels and Happy Camping

[@jarbarian]

Im guessing your coach was well over $650k? Way out of my price range. I am sure your coach is really nice but we do want a home base, so when we sell this home, we still need to buy a smaller home so that leaves us about a $250k price range tops.

[@rvamericayall]

We payed well less than that but bought ours before the prices skyrocketed. We don’t have a home base but sure do understand the pluses & minuses of doing so. Good luck on your journey!

[@jarbarian]

@@rvamericayall Ok understood. Say, in 10 years if we decide to sell this house and buy an RV, we know that only Newmar and Tiffin top our wish list, but we want a Class A Diesel. Your thoughts?
