Three things I love: 1) The chassis in general. The engine is not going to be that loud at cruising speed compared to a Super C or even a Ram 2500, which uses the same engine. On a tall hillside, the engine isn’t going to be screaming to make torque because the diesel’s torque peak is over 2,000 RPM lower than the Ford 7.3L V8 (and it makes much more torque than the Ford does at its torque peak). The advantages of the Freightliner platform are head and shoulders above that of the competing Ford, which needs massive suspension upgrades and still doesn’t make the same amount of torque. 2) The kitchen. I love the induction cooktop rather than a propane cooktop. It’s nicely organized. The dishwasher is a key. 3) The garage. Nuff said. Three things I don’t like: 1) The toilet. I think I might move the TP roll holder to a different spot that’s not in my lap. Heck, it’s the worst bathroom I’ve seen on a Class A diesel toy hauler. It’s also the best bathroom I’ve seen on a Class A diesel toy hauler. 2) The lack of external storage … but that’s due to the driveshaft tunnel running down the middle of the frame, and I don’t know what all I’m going to keep in those external compartments. The Ford has the same problem so the advantage still goes to the Freightliner chassis here. 3) The ramp doesn’t do double-duty as a patio, and honestly I’m just grasping at a straw here. Dishonorable mention: Newmar didn’t include the washer-dryer stack on this model but that can be fixed easily, and without the factory W/D cabinet that just takes up extra space.

I was really excited to see this one as it appeared to offer everything you could want except another 🚾 or bathroom. It’s a complete disappointment with inadequate storage unless you fill the back, a queen size bed and the overall build quality looks dreadful. It’s so sad to see that manufacturers are not taking the care and thoughts on their RVS. It’s a definite no from me even if the discount was enormous. Unless manufacturers really want to remain in business they need to up the quality and finish of their products or face bankruptcy in my opinion.

The one on the dinette faces the couch on the other side but the one that’s over the cab is a head scratcher since nothing faces it…. But then there’s the garage…. It does a lot of things except one…. This is the second class A toy hauler that you said “NO” to a smart car to. The other is the Thor Outlaw, again another class A. I’m curious, is there any kind of RV that can haul a Smart Car or similar vehicle? Just wondering

Matt, take off the cover and see how much effort Newmar went to for the insulation to reduce the noise. Matt, look at the construction and how low the engine is mounted. This was a terrible review. Please do your homework before you make claims. It's true when you first start the engine you can have a little noise but when you take off on down the road it goes away. Takes about 1 minute to go away.
