2004 Newmar Dutch Star reviews

We liked the floor plan, but the RV was old and some of the areas needed either a good cleaning or replacement. The owners said they would negotiate but when we pointed out some of the things that would need replacement and we knew what it would cost the woman was quite insulted. The tires were worn past any safe driving. The batteries were last changed in 2015. The paint was scratched and needed repair. The paint on the roof was almost totally faded and would need repainting. The slides would not come out easily and would need some work. We were totally disappointed since we had driven from Utah and it was an eight hour drive. The pictures that were on the website looked like they were taken when the RV was new. In my opinion this RV should be taken off the website. Thanks for listening. Show less

Having owned a gas driven motorhome before, it was a jump into the unknown to buy this motorhome at an RV show in Redmon, Oregon. The Dream was materialized 1000 times over. The USA, Mexico, and Canada were our go-to places. With our Jeep in tow, it was a piece of cake. The comforts of home were all there: Bathroom, shower, a sink and vanity for my wife, a washing machine, a kitchen, a dining room, A tv in the bedroom and in the living room. Our longest trip was to the Maritime Provinces! I hate to give it ewup. It is built to use. Don’t buy it and park it. Newmar is a quality company. This one was built in Napanee, Indiana. They have all the records. Keep your vin number handy when you call them. Their support staff has always been there for me and will be there for you, too. This is a must- see RV. You will love it.

This 04 Newmar was out first R.V we ever owned. We use it for our business in the summer months and our pleasure in the Fall/early Winter and Spring. We have fell in love with it. We have camped and traveled all over the Eastern part of the U.S. We have found ourselves living just as comfortable in this R.V as our house. It drives like a car. Me and my husband take turns driving and really enjoy traveling in it. I would rate the quality even thought it is a 04 with any other R.V on the market. Any problems that have arrived with it we have repaired with the best practices possible. Never a reman part we always go strictly new OEM Freightliner Parts for the Chassis and Newmar when possible for the Coach. You cannot go wrong with this R.V. Show less

I purchased this RV about 3 years ago and have taken 3 cross country trips with it. It handles very well, has good power on the road even when pulling a 24' trailer with a small car and a motorcycle in it. The coach is well appointed inside and out to make travel and living very comfortable. The slides are automatic at the push of a button. The large awning is electric with a wind sensor so you don't have to worry about leaving it out when you leave the coach. One of the best features of this coach is the king size bed that was special ordered from the factory. Very nice and comfy feature. After a title search on this vehicle it shows that it was never in an accident and there were no factory recalls. It also has a pull out tray that is accessible from either side. All the comforts of home away from home. I know of no problems with the coach and would be comfortable selling it to a family member or friend. Show less

This model RV is like driving a Cadillac. Plenty of power from the Cummins 370, smooth shifting with the Allison 6 speed automatic. Combine that with the best in class Spartan chassis and it makes for an awesome driving, riding, performing RV. Newmar used all the best components putting this RV together. The cabinetry is all wood, no particle board or plywood here. The furniture is all Flexsteel. Top of the line fabric covers all of it. GE microwave/convection is the right size for a family. Norcold fridge keeps all your cold items at the right temp. This RV has been a pleasure to own,drive, and live in! Show less

My wife and love traveling together in our RV. We have a 37’ Newmar Kountrystar model KSCA which has a bath plus half bath. Half bath is exceptional especially when we traveled with grand kids. This model is built using a W-22 Workhorse chassis, an 8.1 vortex gas engine and Allison transmission. This rig has plenty of power. We flat flat tow a Ford Edge and have travelled up and down some significant grades with no power issues. It’s not a sports vehicle but performs very, very well. This coach drives easily and comfortably. We added Koni shocks which made a huge difference after OEM shocks had some wear. The floor plan is great. We have plenty of space with 2 slides. Very comfortable. Plenty of kitchen space and counter top. The coach was equipped with a washer and dryer stacked together. We never used either as the capacity is so small and cycles so slow and the places we camped always have convenient laundry facilities. We removed these appliances and added custom shelving which gave us a large closet with lots of storage. Much more useful in our opinion. Newmar quality is impeccable. The inside of this coach is almost like new. The outside, including decals are still in great shape. Show less

The spartan chassis back by the ISL Cummings out performs my holiday rambler and monaco windsor this rig is extraordinarily well built with great handling and performance especially when towing this 4015 was ordered special with the 370 hp but the dealer ordered it custom with a ISX turbo and manifold so it has the Essex up grade witch only comes in 45ft so this thing runs strong.

Our experience with Newmar has been top notch. Our coach is quality throughout. It still rides and feels like a new coach. The interior is beautiful and homey. We recommend this brand and coach. Show less

Absolutely trouble free. Looks good, runs good, feels good. I can't say enough about it. It's for sale because we think we want to go full time and may need a 45 footer but we will be happy with it if it doesn't sell. I've heard hundreds of horror stories about other makes and 5th wheels and it just reinforces my love and faith in Newmar. Show less
