NEWMAR OFFERING NEW WARRANTY

Beginning with 2008 models

NAPPANEE, Ind. - Newmar Corporation, an industry leader in recreational vehicles, announced that it will offer a five-year structural warranty on all of its products beginning with the 2008 model year.

"Newmar is proud to provide this structural warranty as a symbol of our commitment to quality and the customer satisfaction experience," said Matt Utley, Vice President of Service Operations.

The structural warranty states that if any part of a Newmar recreational vehicle superstructure fails to perform properly within five years, from the date of purchase, due to faulty workmanship or material supplied by Newmar, it will be repaired without charge for either parts or labor by Newmar. This structural warranty is available only to the original purchaser and is non-transferable.

This warranty is especially significant coming from Newmar since the company depends on its vendors for top quality products.

"We're very conscientious of the products we offer in our vehicles," said Mike O'Connell, Vice President of Purchasing. "We know that whatever happens to a product- even if it's not made by us - is ultimately a reflection on Newmar. Our customers don't make a distinction between what we manufacture and what is supplied to us. That's why we cannot accept second best."

Established in 1968, Newmar is an innovator and leader in the RV manufacturing industry and recognized nationally for its excellence in quality. Newmar employs over 900 employees and is privately owned. Newmar has a dealer network that spans across the United States and Canada. Newmar is located at 355 N. Delaware Street, Nappanee, Indiana.

Improved warranty - What do you think?

Readers comments:

Jason :   I cannot understand why the warranty is not transferable, surely it should be honoured no matter who owns the rig, this would put me off buying a newish pre owned unit.

Pete M :   The trend is for all manufacturers to offer better warranties as is the case with cars. It doesn't matter who makes a particular piece of equipment, it's up to the RV manufacturer to ensure the equipment manufacturer meets the better warranty. I think all high level coaches should be warrantied for 5 years on ALL aspects.

Paul Pomfret :   I don't think the manufacturer can be responsible for all the equipment for example the refig or tvs but I think the manufacturer should stand by the structural arrangement he built. I think 5 years on the structure is a good idea and a good selling point.

John A :   I think this is good and I think all manufacturers should have a similar policy. It doesn't warranty the entire coach it warranties "against faulty workmanship or material". Why not, surely all manufacturers should have good quality control now.
