Purchasing NEWMAR NEW AIRE subject to inspection

[Greg Haag]

I am purchasing a NEWMAR NEW AIRE subject to inspection, does anyone have recommendations on the most important items to inspect?  It is a used 2022 if that matters.

Thank you in advance,

Greg

Ask why somebody is selling a new coach.

So many new buyers recently.  Maybe they found they really didn't like RVing. Anyway, it is worth asking.

Good plan getting it inspected. Should not be many problems with that new of a coach.

Well, we have  a 2022 NewAire. Great coach. 
However, we are trading up for the new 2024 Mountain Aire on the K3 chassis and the full 960 amp hour lithium package. This configuration with a tag axle on a 38’ coach is ideal.

Welcome to the forum. Where are you buying the coach?

The single most important item IMO, is the power-train, then chassis, then for water leak damage. Most RV appliances come with a 2yr warranty. The absorption refrigerator used to have a standard 2yr warranty, extendable with annual inspections and cleaning by a professional to 3 yrs.

 A 2022 model engine will not even be broken-in yet, it requires 50K to 80K miles  to be completely broken-in. Fluids analysis should be performed on all fluids to determine the condition though.

IMO it is a good use of money (about $750) to hire a professional RV inspector to protect your purchase money.

I agree ray but 2022New Aire! hasn't been back. He is talking about a New 2024 MA. I still think having it inspected would be a good thing.

How are you doing and have you made any progress getting back on the road?

 I failed to notice his post was from Dec. 2022, my bad.

No progress; still waiting on the arbitration process to play out; meanwhile I'm fixing other things in the MH, new batteries, next is new inverter/charger. I''m not looking forward to working with the OEM 4/0 battery cables.

Hope they get things moving along.
