Newmar BAY STAR 2702 reviews

We have had many issues with slide outs (load noises, not working, fuses), bad batteries, finish, tires, engine/tans. acting up, etc... don't buy one.... We have spent over $2,000.00 in repairs on our first trip without any support from Newmar or the dealer. Show less

We purchased a new 2021 Baystar Sport June 16, 2021, from Crain RV in Benton AR. Our experience has been the worst we’ve had in all our years of owning an RV. We’ve owned 5 different motor homes from a 40’ diesel to a 25’ sprinter and sizes in between. This is the first brand new RV we have owned and will definitely be the last Newmar. We started having issues on our drive home from buying it. It wasn’t running correctly and struggling to maintain speed on hills and incline, the dash A/C wasn’t cold and it seemed to pull to the right. After contacting the dealer we were told to schedule service at our local Ford dealer. So within the first week of ownership it was in the repair shop and has been constantly in the year we’ve had it. It has been in a repair shop or waiting for repair over 7 months in the first year. Our RV was away at a repair shop consistently for over 6 months. We left it for repair on Jan. 3, 2022 and received it back on June 6, 2022. We have only driven it approximately 4,500 miles for our use. We drove it on 2 trips and had so many problems each time that it wasn’t safe to continue driving it. Now our warranty from Newmar expires in a week and we just received the RV back from its last repair. After complaining to Newmar about this we have been offered a 3 month extension of the factory warranty that they will consider issues that may arise. Even though they are aware that some items in our RV have never worked for our use during our first year of owning it. Two examples are the inverter has never worked and had to be replace along with the motor for the slide. My husband had to push on the outside of the RV while I held the button in for the slide to retract. Show less

This is a nice quality Newmar coach. It has a lot of features that most smaller units don't include. Perfectly comfortable for 2 people to vacation or full timing. After upgrading the heat pump to a 15000 BTU unit it cools nicely and the addition of a sunscreen windshield cover helped greatly. This is a lot of RV packed into a compact unit! Show less

Great and practical motorhome. Big enough for 2 people to live in or take the whole family for vacation. Beautifully decorated, quality equipments, great visibility even a rear window. Will be able to stay at most campgrounds. Show less

The Newmar Bay Star Sport is a beautiful coach however, the air conditioning is insufficient for the coach of you live in the South. Newmar told us that the dealership should have told us that. My question is why would you build a coach that had insufficient A/C and sell it to a dealership in New Mexico? Ours even has an upgraded A/C and will not cool the coach. It was a miserable summer in our new RV. Show less
