Hi,
This is our second Class A RV year. The short local trips we took around Michigan and Indiana during our 1st year, led us to buy a second Class A that is a 2009 Fleetwood vs 2003 Newmar Dutch Star. The Fleetwood is the same length at 42' but has 3 slides and almost all of the wish list items for us to want become FL snowbirds next winter so during a recent trip we scouted for and found a 4 month RV resort Rental and a replacement RV that is being shipped to us from FLA to MI in a couple of weeks. Time to ready our Newmar 2003 DS for sale.
Top of Co-Captain Jody's wish list was 1 and a 1/2 bathrooms. Separate washer and dryer ( not stacked ) and in general a much bigger floor plan inside. For me I get a tag Axle and 400 hp vs 350HP on a Spartan chassis vs Freightliner. and some electronics that the Newmar did not have. Full motion sat dish , auto leveling, etc
