We are so excited about becoming full-time RVers, just as soon as our house sells. I turned 60 Wednesday and we put the house on the market yesterday. We are both retired and have adult children living in Georgia, Florida & Texas, who probably think we're crazy for selling our home and possessions to buy an RV. Life is short and we want to be able to see all that we can see.
We've traveled to Elkhart, IN and Grand Rapids, MI looking at Class A diesel motorhomes and have decided to purchase a Newmar Dutch Aire. If you have any knowledge about Newmar's, please let us know. Will we have problems at campgrounds with a 43' MH?
So glad to have located this wonderful site!

We have been extremely pleased with our Newmar motor home all the way around...quality, fit and finish as well as the Cummins engine, Spartan chassis, etc. As for fitting in the campgrounds...that depends on the type of campgrounds you choose to use. It will be "tight" for you in some - especially older, smaller parks, but generally you'll be okay, especially out west. Good luck with your house sale!

We are also very happy with our Newmar product. We also have a 2004 4015 Dutch Star, just like mcw50.
The Dutch Aire is a new variant from Newmar between the Dutch Star and Mountain Aire. 43' feet will limit you on campgrounds, but 40' also limits us on campgrounds.
Your children should be seeing more of you if you can come to their places in Florida, Georgia and Texas than staying in Michigan. Tell them all to put in full hookups for you.

Welcome to the forum.
Lot of friendly helpful people here that are willing to answer your questions.
Newmar makes very nice coaches, and has a good reputation, so should be a good choice

Welcome to the forum and congratulations! I have heard nothing but good things about Newmar. When Pam went through the factory in March she was quite impressed.

Joe & Sherri:
Thanks for the warm welcome. Our trip to Houston this past June was one of our determining factor to go RVing fulltime. We have a son in Houston and friends in Arlington, so we will be in Texas alot.
This is a great site and we're learning so much about Rv's.
