Newmar Dutch Star reviews

I love this Rv. Everything is at your fingertips. So much storage. Use the fireplace for heat or ambiance. Entertain outside with the outdoor entertainment center. Night and day shades with the press of a button. Love Everything about this coach. Show less

430k . Looking at full time living . Newmar are very proud of the logo its everywhere. Minor issues so far but a few things stick out. Ok quality on the finishing door fell off molding felloff. Can't turn off road watch features which are extremely annoying/distracting while driving. Control app is outdated clunky. Still to many manual controls. Slides awnings shades.had firefly on 2021 coach was years ahead. Basement wiring plumbing no better then much cheaper units . Customer service has been ok so far but now 3 months in are playing games . Overpriced resting on the logo . Still better then most but who strives for that. Show less

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

We bought our 2023 Dutch Star 3736 -It has been a piece of junk -We have had the body of the motorhome fall off, $15,000 in electrical failure, air conditioning units both blew out, cheap parts on the front door, full wall slide always needs adjustment, electrical problems with the oasis heating unit -All these problems within a year and half-Newmar told us to “Pound Sand” after the 1 year warranty Show less

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

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 RV is extremely comfortable for the full time rv'er or occasional recreation use. The buffet with table and large storage provides the ability to work from home comfortably. Four slides makes this feel so roomie inside and provides lots of windows. Easy access to kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom if needed when all slides are in and going down the road. The Diesel engine has made towing our 7 passenger car a breeze. The theater seating chairs are comfortable for watching the 44" television. The 3722 comes with plenty of storage throughout especially with the kitchen pantry cupboards and numerous bedroom closet and drawers. The outdoor tv is awesome for watching your favorite sports team. The couch and numerous chairs makes entertaining easy. Transforming the couch to a bed for guests is quick and easy. Show less

The Newmar Bay Star 3626 Coach floor plan was the key factor in our choice to purchase one used. This is our second RV, we had a Class C MH prior, sold it, and decided to upgrade to a Class A MH about a year later. The 3626 features 4 slides, 2 in the Master Bedroom and 2 in the Living / Kitchen area. The MBR features a Serta Posturepedic Hybrid full size King mattress, Samsung LED TV, Blu-Ray DVD Player and tons of storage. Next to the MBR is a closet with connections for a future stacked washer/dryer unit. Across from the closet is the bathroom featuring a full size shower with skylight and automatic fantastic roof fan. The bathroom also has ample storage cabinets and both LED ceiling and vanity lighting. Immediately behind the Co Pilot seat is the main entry door to the coach which leads up to a large living room and kitchen / dining area. There are two recliners opposite the fold out sofa couch queen size bed. Behind the sofa is the Televator containing a Samsung 43" LED TV with Bose Sound Bar on top. All TV's in the coach (3) are remotely connected to the HDMI distribution system above the driver in the Entertainment Electronics Cabinet. DVD Player located above driver is connected to LR and Exterior TVs. A second HDMI distribution hub is installed for a satellite receiver. Also in the cabinet is the WiFiRanger Spruce Router and power supply and provides a dedicated WiFi network for the everything in the coach. The Dinette area will seat 4 adults comfortably, and also will collapse down to form a bed for kids. Overall the rig can sleep 4 adults and 2 kids. The Kitchen is opposite the Dinette and features a double wide AC / LP French door refrigerator with Ice Maker, 3 burner LP Gas Cook-top, Combination Microwave / Convection oven above the cook-top. Double stainless sinks and solid surface counters round out the kitchen. We have put ~8000 miles on this coach since purchasing it in May of 2022. Although we are not the original purchasers, we contacted Newmar for support and they have been fantastic to work with, they truly stand behind their products! This is a solid, well built coach, and everything works as designed. Outside there is a 21' canopy that can be extended either manually or using the included wireless remote control. Additionally the awning has a wind sensor that an retract the awning automatically in high winds (although we only deploy the awning if we are using it). Under he canopy is the outdoor TV Cabinet which allows the display of OTA, DVD, or Satellite programs. Note all 3 TV's in the coach are connected by WiFi and are Smart TV's. We give high scores (5s) rating this RV with our only 3 on Driving / Towing. Towing is limited to 5000 pounds, depending on loading this may be reduced based on actual weight. That being said, we towed our Jeep Wrangler Sahara all over the place with no problems whatsoever. To improve drive ability during high winds, or being passed by a semi, we replaced the Front OEM Anti Sway Bar with a HD one from Roadmaster. We also added a Roadmaster Auxiliary HD Anti Sway Bar to the rear of the coach. Further, we replaced all the shocks with KONI for a much improved and enjoyable drive. Lastly, but significant to point out, we've installed the 5 Star Custom Tune on the engine which yielded vastly improved power and shifting points in the Ford F53 V10 26K Chassis. All the house batteries (6) have been replaced with AGM Deep Cycle batteries and provide 570 AH capacity and no maintenance. Four are located in a tray compartment on the driver side and two are located up in the engine compartment. If you are in the market for a Class A coach on a budget, you will not be disappointed in this unit. Show less

Class A motorhome s Have owned 2 different Holiday Rambler Endeavor and Navigator 1Coachman chief, 1 overland Lexington, and Newmar Kountry Star 3353. I have worked on motothomes that all my family had for 40 years. I have to say Newmar freightliner chassis with the older Cummins engine is hands down the best of the best to own. I have never been to the factory service center but people I have spoke to people who have say they are amazing to work with. I have spoke to service people and parts people many times on the phone and they are the absolute best I have ever seen. They can pull up my coach which is a 2003 and tell me everything about it they even have had me talk to the suppliers they get material and parts from. If it's a question they're not sure of like (exact specifics of the door hinges rubber seals). I have to say I am more impressed with Newmar than any I have spoken to or owned in my 40 + years being around and working on motorhomes. The quality of Newmar on the diesel pushers it's top notch. I can get almost any part on this motorhome that is 20 years old in a few days or a week if it's a very rare part and they don't have stock. I don't not about thier gas coaches ( Bay Star and Canyon Star) but the diesel pushers are the top! 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
