Newmar Dutch Aire luxury motorcoach exterior

New for 2009, Roaming Times thinks the Newmar Dutch Aire is a stunning coach in every way.  We show interior pictures and the floorplans for all the 2009 models below.  At a starting MSRP of less than $300,000 it will no doubt appeal to many RoTi readers.

Newmar says: "Say hello to the Dutch Aire Diesel Pusher, our remarkable new luxury motorhome. While its stunning appearance will please your eyes, its surprising starting point will also appeal to your budget." They also say: "There’s a rising star in the luxury coach world. Newmar is proud to introduce the brand new 2009 Dutch Aire, a coach that’s destined to win the world over. Go ahead, take the keys. The show is about to begin."  And, about the chassis: "Taking center stage is the Spartan Mountain Master chassis. It gives your coach its unbelievable strength and allows for incredible storage space and larger, stronger Michelin tires."

The new Dutch Aire really is impressive not only outside but also inside as our pictures below show:

The pictures above and below show the well thought-out and beautiful use of the space.  The wide variety of the floorplans (shown below) provides virtually a layout to suite all motorcoach lovers. 

The kitchen arrangement is shown below.  Newmar says: "Included are intelligent, stainless appliances, such as a 30" convection oven and four-door refrigerator with icemaker. Simply perfect for bringing your culinary visions to life. Entertaining is about the presentation. So you’ll appreciate the stunning, spacious handcrafted hardwood cabinets and the intricately tiled backsplash. For those who prefer sleeker cabinets, a contemporary flat-panel door option is also available. A designer faucet and Mystera countertop tie it all together."

Newmar says the Cummins ISL 425 Hp engine "sings with just a turn of the ignition. Dutch Aire handles like a dream, thanks to revolutionary Comfort Drive Steering. It’s an exclusive Newmar innovation that returns the wheel to the center and makes turning and backing up virtually effortless. The driver command center puts everything at your fingertips, including chassis information, a rearview color monitor system and an optional removable TomTom navigation system that can be used in other vehicles."  We show the driver center below:

FLOORPLANS

We really like the 7 floorplans currently available (2009) for the Dutch Aire.  There are 2 length available as detailed above and a wide range of options with the layouts.  2 of the models have one and a half bathroom arrangements that are particularly popular with many of our readers.  The 4331 model with its long, long slide is really cool.  Look at the floorplans for yourself and add your comments below...

Brian I'm back. after rving in our 40' Mountan Aire , I love it no issues my next one will be a 40' like the one I have , 2 slides is good enough , with a tag, I would like 500 hp I'll move up to a 2004 to 2006
TerryMy brother-in-law recently passed away and my sister wants me to sell their 2008 London Aire. It is so nice, I hate to see it be let go at such a low price. I have it out on rvt dot com for sale.
Wes@ 2micro4u regarding putting a Smart car in the garage of a Newmar Canyon Star Toyhauler: A Newmar dealer told me that the Smart is too heavy for the Canyon Star. Any opinions on a Smart in the garage?
Hans RI ahve a 2008 Essex. If money is not a problem for you this is the coach. I wish I could afford to trade in for the latest model. Love the full wall slide. Thanks.
Brian I'm back I found a 40' 2000 Mountain Aire low miles like new we love it . spent all summer on the road.
P. MercerI have an '07 Essex. It is my 3rd Newmar. They are just the best and have the best factory service in the business.
CooneyI'm looking at buying a used Dutch Aire - 2007. Looks good and enjoyed reading the review. I think I'm better with a used Newmar than a new coach at the same money. Also think with any new coach there are some initial problems and I think the 2007 has got these finished.
JimI traded in a Newmar for a 5th wheel thinking this would be a good move and I would not have to tow a car to get around with when we stopped. Worst mistake I have ever made. Newmar's quality in their Class A's is great. I really miss that. Instead of having quality drawers, cabinets, doors, walls I have paper thin drawers, cabinets, doors and walls. We were going to take it South for the winter but not sure if it will go that far without stopping to have a dealer tighten it up. I wish I had my Newmar back.
RolfWe have the 2009 Dutch Aire 4304 and we love it. 4 slides and a great layout. This is our second Newmar, we had a 2002 Essex. Newmar is the best. No problems so far. We visited the factory in Nappenee, Indiana in 2005 and they were so friendly and helpful. Previously we'd had a Fleetwood and a Foretravel. OK and good respectively but if you want the best its got to be Newmar.
JoelI've owned a 2001 Mountain Aire and it was the best coach (3rd one at the time)i then owned a 43PBQ Navigator the worst coach i ever owned (225 items about a third kept reoccuring they could never fix them one example 5 radiator assemblies) i traded that coach in for a 2007 Newmar Essex this is now the best coach i've ever owned. i got service from Newmar in Elkart and the experience was great (they are the nicest folks you could meet) By all means purchasing a Newmar is one of the best coach buys.
