2005 Newmar Class A - Gas reviews

Pros Very easy to drive. The GM engine is very powerful and reliable. We have lived in our Newmar in the summers for the last 20 years and we love it. Scottsdale is has excellent features. Like pocket doors in the Split Bath, Big Frig, Two ACs, Very little maintainen required. Great shades, Plenty of Storage, 50amp service, I installed new Flat screen TVs and an On Demand Ht Water heater. We Love it. Two Thumbs Up! Show less

We could not be happier with our Newmar. We have traveled about 50,000 miles towing a PT Cruiser, cross country twice and into Canada and all up and down the East coast. It is as comfortable as any automobile we have owned, handles easily. We have owned other rvs but Newmar is the best in its price range as far as we are concerned. The structure, design and workmanship cannot be beat.When we are at a campground for any length of time, we often say, this is all we need to live a happy life !! Even though it is a gas rig ( Chevy Workhorse, 8.1) we had no trouble with the Appalachian,Rocky or Cascade mountain ranges. A little slower going up some awesome roadways, but never a problem, even though we were towing.We averaged between 6.5 and 7.0 MPG. Don't think you can do much better. Show less

Quality even at this age of the coach not one thing wrong, it’s built to last, I can’t say enough. I did have to add stabilizer to improve driving. I would highly recommend this manufacturer and this coach Show less

We drove the RV across the Northern route of the US from North Carolina. We've traveled to many more places in California, Oregon, Utah and Arizona. This is the first class A RV I've owned and I've loved having it. It was set up for towing with the previous owners, but we have not towed anything. Both beds are comfortable. I really like having the larger refrigerator and convection/microwave oven. Very easy to use. The all-in-one washer/dryer is also a plus. There is plenty of storage space throughout (main kitchen and living area, as well as the bathroom and bedroom). Show less

Love this RV, with 3 slides it is very roomy. With the GM Vortec 8.1L engine lots of power, even up mountains. Beautifully appointed wood and beige colours,very neutral. Airbag suspension gives smooth ride. Parts and service easy to find with Workhorse chassis and GM truck service. Very cozy in hot or cool conditions with either AC or furnace operating. Winterizing is a breeze, takes 15 minutes with automatic pump to take antifreeze thru all pipes. Show less

This gas RV is powerful and dependable. It is quiet and solid. The unit performs above average at 15 above 0. The heat pumps are great in 80 degree heat. The generator is very effective and easy starting. The slide outs are trouble free. We have no problem pulling our Ford Escape with the very efficient Allison 5 speed transmission. Show less
