Hey y'all! Thanks so much for joining us for the fun and adventures! 25,000 subs... WOW!! We appreciate it so much. 😁 If you missed last week's big reveal video of our new RV, you can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/17kvdFj6P_A/w-d-xo.html .
Trying to implement a lot of vegetables into your diet is never easy. It’s a lot of prep it’s a lot of space it can be susceptible to spoilage. I feel you! It’s always worth it
Congratulations to the 25K !!! Deserved!! We had a tragic unexpected death in our family so our fulltime travels are delayed to the end of this month hopefully if Life doesn't get in the way again. We are still fulltime Rvers but not traveling much right now. Agree find the right RV/Coach for yourselves at the right time.....
We are so happy for you! We were between Tiffin & Newmar when we were going to buy.. both wonderful RV manufacturers. We did a used Tiffin 2018 Allegro Red 33aa.. as it was perfect for us.. you have to do what works for you! Congratulations on the Newmar & it’s beautiful! We will be looking for you on the road! Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Congrats, love your New Aire. My husband and I just purchased a 2020 Ventana 3412 for similar reasons and loving it. Thanks for you videos truly enjoy them.
New coach sounds awesome. Can't wait for the tour. We are at Devil's Tower Wyoming now and using our solar setup. It gives you a lot of camping flexibility.
We used to have a newmar and loved every second of it. Once we went away and when we came back there was a loud party going on in the pavilion next to us. We were worried we would have to move what with 2 very large windows across from each other in the rig. When we got inside it was QUIET, we could not believe it, so well insulated. Ours was 24 feet, I think they only made them for 2 years. So rare a dealer wanted us to bring it in for him to see it, he had heard of it but never seen one in person. Never found anything built as well as the newmar quality.
First, welcome to the Newmar family. Hopefully, you will be as happy with yours as we have been! I like Tom’s hat (I have the same one.). That is a beautiful buggy!! Congrats and safe travels!!
I too went from a Breeze to a New Aire 3343. I too am having Master Tech do my solar/lithium system. In fact, I paid for it over 2 months ago and I have a sneaking suspicion they are giving you my batteries! I bet you too are waiting on the proper bracket for the 52 volt alternator. You'll also really come to appreciate the much larger basement in the New Aire.
Glad you explained why you went with Newmar. I was very curious and figured you would address the issue. We love Newmars and hope to purchase one soon. We like NIRVC too.
Enjoyed the video and congratulations on reaching the 25K subscriber mark More new viewers will subscribe because of the increased interest in solar installations and your full time content in your new coach.
Thanks for the explanation. Since you interviewed Bob, and all. It sucks that they don't make the one you wanted. But Newmar has a great reputation too, from what I've heard. CONGRATULATIONS, regardless. Can't wait to see the tour! Jayman...
Very happy for you both. Enjoy the FULL off grid electrical and washer/dryer. You'll need hookups to feed water to that little rotating sucker!! Enjoy and be well!
Thanks Andrew! I’m so happy for you & your journey as well, keep up the great work! Maybe one day we will see y’all on the road, I know your kids would love it!
I was shocked to realize you guys are at 25K subscribers, you content is great and very professional. I am sure there are many more subscribers, and adventures, to come for you. Congrats on 25K and the new rig - gorgeous!!
Congrats! We are thinking of upgrading our RV soon. Going to the Tampa RV show to look at some!! Excited to follow your adventure!! Melissa from RV Rolling with MJ
Thanks for sharing the logic on your switch from Tiffin to Newmar. Congrats on 25K, and yes, when it comes to rigs....size does matter! We're looking forward to the tour...and that paint scheme rocks!
Hey Tom and Stacie. It was great to meet you at NIRVC in Lewisville. Tom, I sent you an email as we discussed. Hope you received it. Hoping to meet up with you guys somewhere down the road. Best wishes on the new coach.
Great video. We are looking forward to seeing your new solar equipment at the FMC rally. We hit the road next week for the Black Hills and will meet you in Gillette later this month. Anxious to see what your new coach looks like when it's dirty, ha!!......Howard and Betty.
Dirty?!? What?!? 😂 It would be awesome if these rigs came with some type of paint that repelled all dirt. LOL Have a safe trip and enjoy the Black Hills. We'll see y'all in Gillette!
Congratulations on your 25,000 subscriptions and new Newmar coach! We have a older model Newmar and we love it for sure. I’ve been following you guys for awhile but just now subscribed. Can’t wait to see what your coach looks like. God bless you and stay safe!
As a fellow Texan we are excited for you! We are new to the Motorhome side of Rving. Had purchased a 2005 Newmar Northern star they only made them for 2 years 2004 & 2005. In the process of updating things on it. Have really enjoyed watching you guys in your travels and experiences. Have a Blessed day!
I've watched a video from Master Tech a while back about the ultimate solar package they put on a New Aire, is that what you're getting because that is out the Box!
Hey congratulations on the Newmar. We have the Baystar. Newmar is great. Congratulations on 25k subs. That’s so hard. I have a channel as well and am struggling. I agree on Tiffin. They are solid. Yes on the washer and dryer. I want a diesel for sure. Flat towing with a gas rig and getting gas is a hassle. Lol congratulations on the new home. Can’t wait to see the full tour. Great share y’all.
Thanks so much! It take a lot of time to build a channel. If you enjoy it, just keep on keeping on and it will build. Hope to cross paths with y'all out there somewhere!
Good choice by the way. The other advantage to the 33' NA is 10,000 lb towing capacity. The larger 35' NA sits on the same axles and has a reduced towing capacity of only 5,000 lbs.
Interesting Daniel. Since we were only considering the 33, we didn't even notice that. We just pulled it up. Both can town 10K flat, but you're right it's 10K for the 33 and 5K for the 35 when it comes to a trailer.
Hi Y’all. My wife and I are deciding between a Tiffen 35 Bus and the New Aire 35. We would love to hear your view of New Aire vs Tiffen now that you’ve logged miles on both.
I believe the Tiffin is really 37 feet so we think the 35 foot Newmar would be better because of size with the same engine. From our experience I believe the insulation is also better in the Newmar making it a quiter ride. Just our opinion but don’t think you could go wrong either way! Good luck!
A lot of folks are saying that Comfort Drive is a game-changer. You’ve driven both. Do you feel like it makes that much difference? BTW, thanks for what you both do. It’s a real service to the RV community!
Hi Stacy and Tom, from a UK subscriber. Congrats on your new coach, it looks awesome. It's been fascinating to watch how you guys do it in the US, quite different to us in the UK. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the full coach tour.
We had Tiffin 3 times and had huge issues , besides the terrible service facility and the reason Thor bought it out we are done. Newmar has a beautiful service facility and it’s by appointment only, wonderful. More folks then ever are on the road now and we hear all over its hard to find campgrounds. We went back to the house after 5 years and now just go part time with a cheap camper. Congratulations anyways and best of luck to you , diesels can get very costly in the future.
We visited the new Newmar Service Center the other day, just to see it. You're right... it is beautiful and the their campground is really nice as well.
@@rvamericayall we just bought a new HR class A rv, we where lucky that the previous deal just fell through , it’s gas, we bought a Rv port and house so we are not full time anymore. Listen to the podcast from RVLifestyle, it’s interesting to say the least
Can't wait for the grand tour! Not judging, just curious about going all electric - propane filling a PITA or other? Maybe a topic for a future wingin it:)
Propane blows up too easily. Seriously. Electric is obviously more efficient and easier to find, much cleaner, no worries about fumes/gasses. You can always pack a small propane twin burner camp stove as a backup.
Just tuned in, I do think Newmar makes the best, and we like the 3609 but we don't want gas, we want Diesel. Is it possible to get Newmar to swap out the gas for diesel? Our budget it 250k max, but definitely gas is out.
When in Elkhart, I don't recommend Hoosier Mex. Other than that, nice area and people, just don't be surprised if you get comments on your accent. I know, what accent? Just say, I'm from Texas and wait for the smile, eyes rolling and a, I think I figured that out. Looking forward to the solar panel LiFe addition. It's something on my wish list for our next RV.
Thank you Joy and Scott. Yes. We are absolutely sticking with our M&G braking system. The New Aire actually came equipped with the air connection so it's an easy transition.
Thanks Bill! We haven't used the new fridge a whole lot yet since we went straight up to begin the solar/battery install. Yes, we have the basement fridge/freezer as well.
Great presentation! You have a fantastic coach . The Tiffin Breeze comes close, but does not offer the luxury options and standard equipment that New Aire has. Best, Steve & Deb from Western Mass.
I lost my wife 8 years ago to cancer and have been living with my oldest son and family but I feel like a stranger, kinda like they don’t really want me here. I’m their babysitter and bus driver for my grandson.
While I liked Newmar’s wall construction method vs Tiffin’s laminated wall construction the Tiffin Red floor plan and furniture comfort won out vs the Newmar Ventana Le when we orderedour Tiffin Red 37pa in April 2019. We couldn’t afford a New Aire or Dutch Star. Another issue was Newmar cabinets in the slides which are better insulated but are not very tall so storage was limited vs Tiffin cabinets. I don’t think Tiffin does a super job on chalking seams vs Newmar and while paint is good on Tiffin I think Newmar does a better job. While we got decent service for our first year warranty at Red Bay last year during covid restrictions this year several items were not repaired as we only got one of those 3 hour/ two technician service bay slots. They were minor items and we moved on to meet reservations. We would’ve had to stay another week or more and we had already waited a week before being called in. Our Red is less than two years old. I should’ve allocated a month for being in Red Bay. I understand Newmar’s service center you can make an appointment so you are not hanging around. We don’t use Tiffin dealers as they are not that good and take forever to service your coach, not good for full timers like us, so we try to hit Red Bay once a year and also get service at Bay Diesel. While our coach is 39’ long we are able to get into a lot of COE campgrounds and state parks. I perform a lot of research insuring campsites are long enough and are level. We had 1050w of solar and 400 amp hr of lithium installed last October and plan to use it in Colorado this summer at several federal campgrounds that don’t offer hook ups. We book at least 6 months in advance everywhere we go. I is very crowded everywhere especially weekends.
Congrats on your solar set up. We are looking forward to hitting the road with ours once it's completed. Red Bay was part of our annual tour as well. Now we'll be coming to Indiana yearly. We made a visit to the Newmar Service Center last week to check it out. It is really nice. They've built it since we were up in the area several years ago.
Hey Tom and Stacy, Congratulations on your Newmar! I know you mentioned on your video that wanted your coach to be all electric without propane. I guess that means that you will need to run your generator or shore power to run an electric furnace during the colder months. Also, you won't need any propane to run your Davy Crockett wood pellet grill....If you have or decide to buy a propane firepit, you can always use a portable tank for that. Once again, Congratulations!
Hi Homer! I think we'll probably be sharing more about our decision to go all electric in a future episode of Wingin' It! We're currently installing a solar and lithium system that will give us more flexibility.
Did you keep the Green Mountain Grill...that's number 1. Lol! JK! Food storage is very important. Such a beautiful new coach, great story, and you guys are gold in how you speak so highly of others. Excited to see the solar setup. Your new coach is stunning! Congrats for sure!
I’m SO HAPPY for y’all!!! Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple! That coach is spectacular, inside and out. I’ll bet people on the highway are gobsmacked when they get a load of that coach. You’re very fortunate. Enjoy it in good health and safety!! Congratulations on hitting 25K!! Whoo whoo!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Not knocking Tiffin as I own one. My Itasca Suncruiser had a better build; plus I could get all the drawings for systems in the rig for repairs and troubleshooting. Newmar is a step up in IMO. It's awesome how you can customize a Newmar. Neemars installation is awesome. I've read where people say they coach is cooler in the summer, warmer in winter and they cannot hear normal rain fall. You all got my dream coach. Just like you I wanted the Tiffin 37 Bus but it's too big. Looking forward to the walk through and PV videos. If I get on like yours - it's all your fault!
LOL! We are really impressed by how much we were able to customize with Newmar. And yes, we can already see a difference with the insulation. But you do lose storage height in the cabinets because of that. This is our dream coach also. 😁
Master Tech monitors our system remotely and can make some adjustments remotely as well. If we are not near Elkhart IN and need something worked on: they installed only major brands (Lithionics and Victron) so we can get assistance at any of their service facilities.
Why did you want to do away with propane? It seems having a back up source of heat and a way to cook would be important. I say that because of all the trouble you had in Galveston during the freeze.
Great question Nathan! We've gotten several questions on that topic. So we'll be discussing our decision to move away from propane in our next Wingin' It!
Seeing what happened to Airstream quality once they were bought out by Thor I expect similar issues with Tiffin now that they also have also been bought by Thor Industries. Winnebago bought Newmar about a year or two ago. BTW, both Newmar and Tiffin were sold for about the same price: $344 million for Newmar and $300 million or so million for Tiffin.
I am close to selling it all and getting a larger RV I have a 23 foot and I need a closet and a kitchen washer and dryer. And a full sized Refrigerator

We used to have a newmar and loved every second of it. Once we went away and when we came back there was a loud party going on in the pavilion next to us. We were worried we would have to move what with 2 very large windows across from each other in the rig. When we got inside it was QUIET, we could not believe it, so well insulated. Ours was 24 feet, I think they only made them for 2 years. So rare a dealer wanted us to bring it in for him to see it, he had heard of it but never seen one in person. Never found anything built as well as the newmar quality.
That's a great story Sheryl. Thanks for sharing it.

I too went from a Breeze to a New Aire 3343. I too am having Master Tech do my solar/lithium system.

Listen to the podcast from RVLifestyle, it’s interesting to say the least
How were you able to choose your paint colors? I know you ordered it new but was that even a standard color option? Was there an additional cost?
It is an option if you order it but of course it was additional $. But of the upgrades we did it really wasn’t that expensive IMO.
Love the new RV, thought you were doing a follow up with a more comprehensive walk thru and why Newmar instead of Tiffin?
Can't wait for the grand tour! Not judging, just curious about going all electric - propane filling a PITA or other? Maybe a topic for a future wingin it:)
Propane blows up too easily. Seriously. Electric is obviously more efficient and easier to find, much cleaner, no worries about fumes/gasses. You can always pack a small propane twin burner camp stove as a backup.

Great presentation! You have a fantastic coach . The Tiffin Breeze comes close, but does not offer the luxury options and standard equipment that New Aire has. Best, Steve & Deb from Western Mass.
Thanks! Yes, there are several nice amenities in the New Aire that we couldn't get with the Breeze. But still in a small package for a diesel A.
I lost my wife 8 years ago to cancer and have been living with my oldest son and family but I feel like a stranger, kinda like they don’t really want me here. I’m their babysitter and bus driver for my grandson.
While I liked Newmar’s wall construction method vs Tiffin’s laminated wall construction the Tiffin Red floor plan and furniture comfort won out vs the Newmar Ventana Le when we orderedour Tiffin Red 37pa in April 2019. We couldn’t afford a New Aire or Dutch Star. Another issue was Newmar cabinets in the slides which are better insulated but are not very tall so storage was limited vs Tiffin cabinets. I don’t think Tiffin does a super job on chalking seams vs Newmar and while paint is good on Tiffin I think Newmar does a better job. While we got decent service for our first year warranty at Red Bay last year during covid restrictions this year several items were not repaired as we only got one of those 3 hour/ two technician service bay slots. They were minor items and we moved on to meet reservations. We would’ve had to stay another week or more and we had already waited a week before being called in. Our Red is less than two years old. I should’ve allocated a month for being in Red Bay. I understand Newmar’s service center you can make an appointment so you are not hanging around. We don’t use Tiffin dealers as they are not that good and take forever to service your coach, not good for full timers like us, so we try to hit Red Bay once a year and also get service at Bay Diesel. While our coach is 39’ long we are able to get into a lot of COE campgrounds and state parks. I perform a lot of research insuring campsites are long enough and are level. We had 1050w of solar and 400 amp hr of lithium installed last October and plan to use it in Colorado this summer at several federal campgrounds that don’t offer hook ups. We book at least 6 months in advance everywhere we go. I is very crowded everywhere especially weekends.
Congrats on your solar set up. We are looking forward to hitting the road with ours once it's completed. Red Bay was part of our annual tour as well. Now we'll be coming to Indiana yearly. We made a visit to the Newmar Service Center last week to check it out. It is really nice. They've built it since we were up in the area several years ago.
Hey Tom and Stacy, Congratulations on your Newmar! I know you mentioned on your video that wanted your coach to be all electric without propane. I guess that means that you will need to run your generator or shore power to run an electric furnace during the colder months. Also, you won't need any propane to run your Davy Crockett wood pellet grill....If you have or decide to buy a propane firepit, you can always use a portable tank for that. Once again, Congratulations!
Hi Homer! I think we'll probably be sharing more about our decision to go all electric in a future episode of Wingin' It! We're currently installing a solar and lithium system that will give us more flexibility.
The New Aire uses a diesel fired boiler for space heating and hot water with electric as back-up for when shore power is available.
Did you keep the Green Mountain Grill...that's number 1. Lol! JK! Food storage is very important. Such a beautiful new coach, great story, and you guys are gold in how you speak so highly of others. Excited to see the solar setup. Your new coach is stunning! Congrats for sure!
Thanks so much! And yes... we kept the Green Mountain Grill and the Nomad Grill! Gotta eat! 😂
I’m SO HAPPY for y’all!!! Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple! That coach is spectacular, inside and out. I’ll bet people on the highway are gobsmacked when they get a load of that coach. You’re very fortunate. Enjoy it in good health and safety!! Congratulations on hitting 25K!! Whoo whoo!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Thanks so much Judy! Always great to hear from you. ❤️ We're very happy that it all came together.
I love your explanation, Thank you !
Thank you Michael.
So great very happy for ya all
Thank you!
Not knocking Tiffin as I own one. My Itasca Suncruiser had a better build; plus I could get all the drawings for systems in the rig for repairs and troubleshooting. Newmar is a step up in IMO. It's awesome how you can customize a Newmar. Neemars installation is awesome. I've read where people say they coach is cooler in the summer, warmer in winter and they cannot hear normal rain fall. You all got my dream coach. Just like you I wanted the Tiffin 37 Bus but it's too big. Looking forward to the walk through and PV videos. If I get on like yours - it's all your fault!
LOL! We are really impressed by how much we were able to customize with Newmar. And yes, we can already see a difference with the insulation. But you do lose storage height in the cabinets because of that. This is our dream coach also. 😁
Looking forward to seeing everything
Thank you! We're excited.
Congratulations ya’ll!!
Thank you!
Love ❤️ y’all safe travels .
Thank you Darrell!
very happy for you both enjoy
😁
Congratulations! It’s beautiful.
Thanks y'all!
If y all come south on 55 let me know we live near Perryville I’m glad to see those smiles
Thanks Susan!
How does MasterTEch service the Solar system( panels, batteries, controls, inverters etc) in different areas of the country
Master Tech monitors our system remotely and can make some adjustments remotely as well. If we are not near Elkhart IN and need something worked on: they installed only major brands (Lithionics and Victron) so we can get assistance at any of their service facilities.
Congratulations on your new coach. I was definitely wondering what made you switch from Tiffin to Newmar.
Thanks Adrian!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks Julie!
Thanks e friend s an congrats 🎈🎉
Thanks Ronnie!
did you have a steering stability problem with the Tiffin related to a weight distribution problem in the front?
No
Did you buy the retro band inner tires? If no, why not?
Hi Harold. They didn't have any retro bands in stock that fit our rig.
Congrats on reaching 25,000
We appreciate it!
congrats on the new rig! ThomyT
Thanks ThomyT!
Why did you want to do away with propane? It seems having a back up source of heat and a way to cook would be important. I say that because of all the trouble you had in Galveston during the freeze.
Great question Nathan! We've gotten several questions on that topic. So we'll be discussing our decision to move away from propane in our next Wingin' It!
Awesome
Thanks
We fulltime in a Tiffin, but Newmar is a great coach.
We loved our Tiffin Breeze. It was a great full time home for us. Newmar and Tiffin are our favorite brands.
Seeing what happened to Airstream quality once they were bought out by Thor I expect similar issues with Tiffin now that they also have also been bought by Thor Industries. Winnebago bought Newmar about a year or two ago. BTW, both Newmar and Tiffin were sold for about the same price: $344 million for Newmar and $300 million or so million for Tiffin.
We're hoping things will work out well for Tiffin. The people in and around Red Bay who provide service are great
I am close to selling it all and getting a larger RV I have a 23 foot and I need a closet and a kitchen washer and dryer. And a full sized Refrigerator
Have fun shopping! Those will all come in handy.
Congrats!!!
Thanks Colleen!
