Everyone who visits marvels at how nice she is inside. Lightweight, 12v LCD TV's. (the Supersonic TV's are not the greatest, but they are 12v) mounted over cockpit and in bedroom.

Chrome wheel covers (we toured with out them, so they are not in most photos) We have a unique tool to remove wheel lugnuts, kind of a lugnut/wrench winch. Without it field tire repair is improbable.

Newmar's construction has proven very solid. The Workhorse chassis handles well. Great support online. Detailed user manual including video.

In two years we replaced the AC compressor, the alternator, the spark plugs once, the plug wires twice, the fuel pump (needlessly, plug wires were at fault), and (after replacing a few serpentine belts) the harmonic balancer.

Oil changes every 3,000 miles. We get 8-9 mpg on highway and 6-7 in town. A good tailwind earns 14. We never push it hard. Some drivers peg their engine on mountain climbs with their exhaust manifold glowing red. We take it easy, let it crawl steep climbs in low gear. When descending we also take our time.

The coach is way more maneuverable than one might think. With some motorcycle scouting and careful planning, we crossed Union Pass from Green River Lake to Dubois, WY. We also explored the spectacular Lost Coast Highway (the most treacherous highway in the lower part) in northern CA....again with considerable pre run scouting.

I purchased the coach in 2015 from CampingWorld. I had a terrific experience with them. They showed me how to operate the coach's many features. Save the dealer commission and I will not only show you how to operate it, but how to maintain it and the little issues to watch for.

This is an astonishingly comfortable motorcoach.

Digital nomad ready with RV Wi-Fi bridge (Ubiquiti Rocket M mounted on ladder sucks in distant Wi-Fi signals and delivers to an interior Wi-Fi hotspot) We once sucked in a Wi-Fi signal from 2.4 miles away...granted it was an unobstructed shot across the water to a city park access point high on a tower. More commonly used to repeat the signal from Walmart's Wi-Fi.
