I have a 15' trailer with small bathroom and no slides. Despite that, it feels spacious because I have a dinette that folds down as the "door" to a storage cupboard. I only have the table up when I need to use it. I've not seen this feature on any other RV, but I love it.

[gregevans]

Oh yes, after buying 4 off the lot RVs over 10 yrs we finally went out to newmar took the tour and sat down with them and finally got what we wanted. Theatre sets, no couches, extra counter space, fire place, cabinets, colors. We are very happy with our 2024 newmar Dutch star 4018😊😊

[vincentp.chianese]

Well once again as a Newmar owner, four times now. Great job on the video. The first thing is the adage it takes your third coach to get it right. We had our 2018 Dutch Star built from a work sheet.
So let me start with your list.
1. You got the sofa thing figured out. We have the same sofa and when we have guests, almost never, I joke that we blow the mattress up fully on the first night but only half on the second and not at all on the third.
2. Having had both the Booth and the table workstation that you have, you are missing an option that Newmar has. We ordered the 2018 with a free-standing table. Looks like the one you have but it is free standing, and it has a much longer leaf. No, it doesn’t move going down the road, has more room for guests and takes up the same space as the one you have when stowed. Did I mention it can be used length wise in the coach so seat six if need be and it does fit through the door so it can go outside.
3. Propane is just one more thing to run out of. Full electric is the answer. The Induction cook top cooks just like gas. The key is to keep the bottom of your pans squeaky clean and you will see no difference. BTW when you get your DS you will see that the Induction Cook top can be taken outside to cook on as well.
4. Convection Microwave is outstanding. The Admiral makes pies and cakes in ours. Just take a bit of a learning curve.
5. One you missed is the Fisher Payel dishwasher. That is only because you haven’t had one, but your new DS will. It is so convenient, and the fact is it cleans dishes better than the $1500 one I have in my house.
6. Yes, the demand for water heaters are great. But when you have Diesel available, Oasis is the way to go without a doubt. Two 110V heater coils, heat from the engine cooling system so when you get there you have hot water or going down the road you have hot water, and Diesel flame as well. The only yearly service is changing the Diesel filter and making sure the igniter is working correctly.
7. Full body Paint and Clear coat is wonderful. DS are not cut and buffed lower than the rub rail. Cut and Buff is when you cannot feel the paint line between the different colors on the coach. To do the Buff and Cut it takes Newmar about 5 hours with four workers to do from the rub rail up. On Mountain Aire and above it takes a little bit longer than the eight to do the whole coach. My guess is you could get Newmar to do the bottom on a build sheet, of course for an up charge. All three of mine did not have the bottom done only the rub rail up.
8. SaniCon pump out is a good option. Your DS will have macerator heads, but the pump will empty both tanks, through an easy-to-handle hose within 10 minutes start to stop. No more orange 4” Anaconda sections to deal with.
9. Lithium Batteries is the answer without a doubt.
10. Can the Direct TV antenna and go with better Wi-Fi. We have a 1000 GB a month plan for $160 a month no throttling and after just three months on the road we are thinking of going to 500GB. We are using about 280GB a month right now so 500 will be more than enough. Of course, we do not use it the same as you do so maybe the1000GB would be better.
Now get out there and fix the wrinkles in that windshield Sunshade. Do I have to come over there? :>)))

We have Starlink at the house and we have been super happy with it! Our new RV comes off the line end of October! We were just talking about getting a Starlink for the rv! So perfect timing with your awesome info and your pole attachment! Thanks! Loving your channel! Safe travels!

We bought our Bounder new in 2011. It came with both convection/microwave and gas oven. The gas ovens are well known for not cooking even. A lot of people add pizza stones to help. Once I learned how to use the convection, I use it all the time. I even had it put in our winter home we bought in 2018. I also went to induction in the RV because propane had so many safety issues. Anytime we walked by the knobs would get bumped. We set off the propane alarm too many times.

The one addition I’d do on every coach I’ll own is to film the windshield. I had ours filmed with llimar air90. It’s clear so it it legal but it cuts 99% of the uv rays and 66% of the heat. I also filmed the side windows (driver and door) 30% it cuts the glare to where I don’t have to wear sunglasses on sunny days. Our dash air is out but with house ac, s running and a stick fan we don’t need dash air. Also when your parked in combination to the window shade or magna shade there is virtually no temp difference inside from front to the back. It’s definitely worth it.

Great video. Agree with you on the dining table vs booth! The other option we have that I wasn't sure was important was a bath and a half. Now that we are used to it, wouldn't go back to just one bath. Great video!

[davidhannan]

I’m with MJ, still debating big time on the RV we’re going to get this year is Booth versus table. Booth is so much more comfortable but the table with the window ledge gives you much more space for #Stuff.

[martymalone]

My options would be: trifold sofa, ( for our taller son) booth dinette do to comfort and you can store stuff under the benches and last for me is a 12 volt or resident fridge. And for me those are the options I want mostly. Great video 🎉

[toddwmac]

Always great when you guys drop a vid and love this topic. We are finalizing our outfitting choices on an Explorer and your points are helpful. . On the topic of Lithium and in particular LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate aka LiFePO4 I) wanted to chime in.
In the last decade or so, the cost of these batteries has fallen by more than 80% and in 2022, key use patents started to expire accelerating the drop in prices even further. Unfortunately, many/most manufactures are not passing the dramatic drop in prices to their buyers. For example, a recent price quote from on a 2025 coach showed almost $20k; worth of batteries that could be sourced for less than $2500. These prices are only going to continue to drop...something to be aware of when negotiating a buy or considering an upgrade. In appreciation!

We have a Truma water heater on our 1 year old DRV 5th wheel. Only problem with Truma is that if the unit is not well sealed to the sidewall, it can get water inside in a heavy rain. It has shorted out the main circuitboard twice. Truma's customer service is top notch, and I have been able to get replacement circuit boards within a day or two (still too long with cold showers!) Tech availability takes more time, but the circuit board is user replaceable - I was able to replace the board without further assistance. Once I figured out where the water was coming from, I sealed it, and have had no further trouble. It's a great unit.

[myriadcorp]

Induction for safety and decreasing the heat in the RV. I wish I had induction in my RV. We have it in our home and it' so nice. The flames in the RV put out so much additional heat into the RV and you have to pay for the propane. Our home induction turns itself off if a pot is moved. It also leaves the top pretty cool after you remove the pot/pan from the cooktop. I love the tankless water heater. I put it on 98 and when I take a shower I just turn the hot water side on. The water comes out perfect without having to balance it with cold.

[mikeobrien]

I love Newmar's booth that extends with power no need for extra chairs!

[jrsex]

I’ll tell you after going to several larger RV shows the one I would never buy is the “show model special” …. The one that’s had thousands of people walk through and touch and test every square inch. I saw “brand new” units practically falling apart after a busy show season

[wesalexander]

Great topic, MJ, Izzy and Jason! We have found that some things that sound good conceptually, don't necessarily work out in actual practice. We had a booth in our previous coach and really didn't like it very much, but that was partly a function of the quality, or lack thereof. We really like the dinette in the DS, the back bar area is much more useable and provides extra storage as well as a place to setup a laptop as you noted. Agree about the two recliners as opposed to having two sofas, recliners are much more useful, at least for us. While I like a gas cooktop and stove at home, I would worry about gas leaks in an RV that is jostled traveling on rough roads. But we do find the induction cooktop cooks kind of spotty, hot spots/not so hotspots. The DS gives the option of heating water with diesel or electric. We usually use the diesel, it takes very little fuel to heat water and we've never run out of hot water for showers, washing dishes, etc. The Battleborn Lithium batteries sound like a worthwhile upgrade, providing more power and much longer lifespan and no maintenance, though I know the installation involves more than just the batteries and isn't cheap. We have a satellite dish on our RV, but I can't remember the last time we used it, we generally just hookup to the cable connection that most campgrounds have.

Third motorhome, 1st older HR class A (gas) not bad few issues fun for weekends with the kids. 2nd Thor Class C no real camping problems but driving was a nightmare, $2K in upgrade to the suspension a lot better but still work. Add LiF4 BB batteries and victon inverter, a coach you could take on vacation and boondock. Now we are full time and stepped it up to a super C Renegade Verona LE all electric I added LiF4 batteries and swapped out the Magnetron inverter for the Victron. living our best life and never had any regrets with our purchase. Love to drive the coach so much easier than the class C. This is our story.

[TexasSteele]

Knowing it's a 10 year stay (thanks to the silly park rules) we tend to lean into the more modern interiors as we fear the standard contemporary stuff will hurt or age it more at trade-in time

[petitchenil]

Booth for us; made into a bed for the dog creates. Propane so we can make perk coffee when boondocking without turning on the generator. Convection oven over the tiny propane oven - cooks much better. Tank water heater over hydronic due to lower maintenance. Long couch so the wife can lay out and watch TV with all her chihuahuas on her.

[marybourgeois]

Thanks you 3. ALWAYS enjoy your info. Love the versatile cleaner. Will be ordering & sharing with big brother. (We're not spring chickens anymore. WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER)
