ijitterbug Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Anyone have information regarding full time living in a 2008 Newmar Kountry Star 3961 with a 400 HP Cummins? We are considering "downsizing" from a 2007 Beaver 44' Patriot Thunder with a 525 HP Caterpillar. Our thinking is this.... the nearly 45' coach is becoming just a bit more than we really need ..... It is a phenomenal, luxury motor home,but, not only do we have a buyer waiting for us to make up our minds, we also have located a low mileage 2008 Newmar Kountry Star that my wife just fell "in love" the floorplan etc. Just looking for any input regarding the Newmar..... don't know anyone who owns one to talk to, so figured someone on the forum probably can provide us with some good insight..... Appreciate the comments, suggestions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 We don't own one but have several friends who are happy with theirs. Newmar has one of the best track records around but with any used RV the condition is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis M Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 We have an '05 Newmar fiver and the quality of the build is phenomenal. We have been living in it 6-7 months a year for the past 7 years and it still looks like new inside - decals, etc. are starting to fade on the outside after 7 winters in AZ. We have towed from Chicago to Tucson to Tampa to upstate NY and Canada, close to 90k since we brought it in 2007 and it has performed well. Did have to replace springs at one point. Obviously not the same as a MH, but the build quality should be very similar. They dropped fivers to concentrate on MHs around 2008. They also have fantastic owner support and service, even if you buy it used as ours was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstar Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 We have been FT in a 2003 Kountry Star 3904 going on 13 years. Great rig, good quality. We are thinking of downsizing but can't find anything with as much storage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
