UnderbellyEnclosed

Newmar (Better tier): Newmar's gas Class A is framed 16 in on center under a walkable BriteTEK roof, gets full-body paint standard, and carries a 12-year roof / 5-year structural warranty - build and service support run well above the volume gas brands.

Patient search — weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: only 2 model years; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Sleeps seven with a bath and a half - the family flagship of the gas line.
