2016 Newmar reviews

9 years now and 25k miles. I'm thankful to newmar for building this wheelchair accessible motorhome. Other than a few small annoyances, it has been a great coach overall. Maintenance is key. It helps to be handy as well. My biggest complaint would be the power shades. Nice when they work. I've been replacing with manual units as the originals have failed. 2 or 3 I have left as is. Luckily the main front shade has been trouble free and is used the most by far. The ford v10 and 6 speed has been an amazing workhorse pulling this large 40' rig. Maintenance costs have been minimal. We've had zero issues with any appliances which includes the whirlpool washer and dryer, norcold fridge, penguins, heaters, etc. Some common sense and good maintenance will pay off. Show less

The quality of workmanship that goes into building a Newmar can’t be matched. Comfort, quality and spaciousness are reasons we bought this unit. The bonus was that we are small enough to camp in national parks! We love the full wall slide that doubles our living space. There is room to walk around when the queen sleeper is open and the dinette sleeps two children! Show less

This motorhome is designed for anyone who is handicap. My wife and I have enjoyed this coach because with the wheelchair lift as well as the great room with all three slides inside you can easily move from the front to the back to help someone into bed. The shower is wheelchair accessible, the bathroom sink and the kitchen table is great for someone in a wheelchair. I lost my wife last October so this is the reason I'm selling it. It's such a beautiful with all the bells and whistles you would want. Show less

Number 1. Don’t believe the salesman. We read and searched for 14 months before we finally bought our unit. While I really wanted to buy a Tiffin (#1 In premium class) I couldn’t find one that met our needs. So we settled for the Newmar (#2 In premium class). While we have been generally happy, support from Newmar corporate has not been what was expected for a premium class rv corporation. But now that they have been purchased by Winnebago (regular class) their customer service has suffered. Recent issue was leatherette furniture. Reviews before we purchased indicated a problem with the pleather furniture basically unraveling. Our salesman told that yes, this was an issue but was confined to 2011 to 2014 models. WRONG! We use our rv about six to seven weeks a year and then it is light use. So, if you equated it to warranty we should be good for 10 years for a one year warranty . Well, the leatherette started unraveling about a year ago. We reached out to Newmar about the issue and they gave us five options, all which required us to pay to fix this issue. A couple of thousands of dollars. We were out of warranty plain and simple. So lesson learned. Do NOT believe the salesman and buy a Tiffin next time. I have photos but system will not allow me to upload Other issues will be outlined in future posts. Show less

First 6 months spent more time in dealer's lot than away from dealer's lot. At the end of second month of ownership had punch list of over 100 problems. Over 5 years later some still have not been fixed. Fiberglass Roof has been removed and reinstalled twice and replaced once under warrantee. During third year found over 50 gallons liquid in belly after discovered floor rot in wet bay compartment. Believe water and silt came from joints in wheel wells not ever being sealed properly during manufacture. In 100 plus degree weather my wife and I had to remove all compartment floors and under floor insulation, as all insulation was water logged and frames and sheet metal rusted. Had to replace insulation and try to remove rust and repaint framework where could reach. Took us 3 weeks and probably over 300 man hours. Newmar would not accept any responsibility for this problem and make any restitution. Learned from a Newmar employee and another owner, later, that they knew of the problem and had fixed at least one other unit with the same problem. In our 5 years of ownership the following have had to be replaced: the toilet, the shower control valve, the lavatory control valve, the exhaust fans 6 times, the water pump, approximately 20 drawer and cabinet latches, 8 light fixtures, one slide controller, the roof, the skylight, a brake air hose, the steering pump . Other things needing replacement now include: driver and passenger seats, the lounge chair, about 12 tiles on the floor, the master bed mattress, 2 windows fogging, entrance door lock and latch, entrance screen door, shower fiberglass has cracks, lavatory sink is rusting.

This is the best coach we have owned, out of 5 we have owned over the past 27 years. We live in it 5 to 6 months a year. It is comfortable, solidly built, and beautiful inside and out. It is a pleasure to drive. It has a Newmar feature called Comfort Steer which greatly reduce fatigue when driving in cross winds. The coach has over 8,500 pounds of carrying capacity. Show less

The bath and a half is great when traveling with other people Heated floor is really good on the cold mornings Comfort steer is amassing really helps on Wendy days The storage allows you to bring all that you need for full time living Show less

This is an excellent coach! I've never seen a better floor plan for the money. So spacious and drives like a dream. All the furnishings are so luxurious and there are more than enough storage areas both inside and underneath. Our family of five have traveled in this as well as just my wife and I and we have always been more than pleased with this coach. Show less

Ordered it custom for us Ventana 4369 Still own in 2021 (2016 model year) Never been back to the dealer For any problem Only for service 2 nd Newmar for us Newmar builds the best coach for Money REC Show less

The Ventana 4369 is the 2nd Newmar Diesel Pusher we've owned. Every aspect of owning a Newmar is great. In almost 4 years, we've never had the coach in the shop for anything except maintenance service. The questions we have had are always welcome from the factory in Nappanee and they always are correct. Pulling into new places where other Newmar owners are there is like seeing old friends. When we get ready for a smaller motorhome, we'll get another Newmar. Show less
