11 Ways a Newmar Diesel Pusher is Different

Newmar's Diesel coaches have always represented our tireless dedication to delivering what’s next, now. The first coaches to offer power slideouts, Newmar diesel pushers have been leading the industry forward for over a quarter-century.

And because we’ve never found comfort in resting on our laurels, we work hard year in and year out to ensure the Newmar difference never becomes just a phrase.

Loaded with features and full of customer-driven innovation, there is no better way to experience the RV lifestyle than in a Newmar.

Here are 11 reasons why:

1. Comfort Drive

A Newmar exclusive, Comfort Drive is a self-straightening steering wheel that actively eliminates friction, so you can navigate twists and turns with more comfort and less fatigue.

Standard on all Diesel Models

2. Passive Steer technology

The result of an advanced tag axle design, Passive Steer pairs with Comfort Drive to deliver a tighter turning angle, reducing costly tire scrub wear while providing safer, more precise handling capabilities.

Standard on the Ventana*, Dutch Star* and all Diesel models.

3. The STAR Foundation

Developed in-house by Newmar engineers, the STAR Foundation is a modern steel superstructure that enhances chassis strength while delivering a smoother, quieter ride over a multitude of surfaces.

Standard on all Diesel models

4. Industry-exclusive floor plans

The Diesel lines offer a combined 25 unique floor plan selections, including brand new two-bunk, two-full-bath designs and a 43-foot wheelchair-accessible layout.

Two-bunk, two full-bath floor plans: Ventana LE (4042), Ventana, Dutch Star (4310), Mountain Aire, London Aire (4525)

Wheelchair-accessible floor plans: Ventana, Dutch Star (4311)

5. JBL cockpit audio

Custom-tuned to maximize sound quality, Newmar Diesel coaches are equipped with 6-speaker, 180-watt JBL® cockpit audio systems, while Luxury diesel coaches are upgraded to 11-speaker, 360-watt systems.

Standard on all Diesel models

6. Feature Ceiling

Another Newmar exclusive, Feature Ceiling removes exposed vents without disrupting air flow, creating a more upscale appearance inside your home on wheels.

Standard on all Diesel models

7. A premier custom chassis

We build each of our Diesel and Luxury diesel coaches with products from the world’s best chassis manufacturers – Freightliner Custom Chassis and Spartan Chassis.

Freightliner chassis standard on: Ventana

Freightliner chassis available on: Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, London Aire, Essex

Spartan chassis available on: Dutch Star and all Diesel models

8. Cathedral Ceiling

A Newmar first, Cathedral Ceiling adds six inches headroom to select rear-bath floor plans – all while remaining virtually invisible on the outside.

Standard on all Dutch Star and diesel models with a rear-bath floor plan

9. Coach-mounted hammocks

An option on every Newmar Diesel motor coach, our side-mounted hammocks are a dream come true, especially in front of an available exterior entertainment center.

Available on all Diesel models

10. Premium entertainment centers

Select 2017 Newmar Diesel models are outfitted with a whole host of technology from names like Sony® and Bose®, including Sony high-definition LED TVs and Bose Cinemate home theater systems.

Sony HD LED TVs standard on all Diesel models**

Bose Cinemate home theater systems standard on all Diesel models

11. The industry’s best craftsmanship

Every Newmar coach, from Bay Star Sport to King Aire, is built to order one at a time by men and women who have been with Newmar for an average of 13 years. No mass production. No batch builds.

* (40′-43′ floor plans only)
** Sony UHD 4K TVs replace HD LED TVs in the King Aire
