2019 New Aire Follow-Up: Interview with Newmar VP of Sales, John Sammut

2019 New Aire Follow-Up: Interview with Newmar VP of Sales, John Sammut

If you saw our previous video about the Newmar New Aire, you know how much we like it. Today we’re on board a brand new 2019 model at Newmar headquarters in Nappanee, Indiana. We’re joined by Vice-President of Sales, John Sammut for a discussion about what’s been updated for the model’s second year in production.

For those of you wondering…. No, we are not getting a New Aire! Like many of our fellow RVers, we’re just interested in knowing about new products from our favorite manufacturers.

And we know there’s another installment of our Lithium/AGM Battery & Electrical Upgrade project still to come. But it’s not quite ready yet, so we hope you’ll enjoy hearing about the New Aire in the meantime.

Gents, just saw where Entegra introduced their Reata at the FMCA convention. I like the Spartan chassis coupled with the Cummins 360, but not a fan of the rear radiator on the Reata.

Competition between Newmar and Entegra has to be good for the consumer!

Thanks again for all you guys do for the rest of us. We appreciate your efforts!

You're right, Robert... competition is a good thing! Tiffin started the idea a while ago with the Breeze (smaller, more manageable diesel pusher with lower height for easily storing in an RV garage), Newmar took it a step further with making it a luxury RV with lots of features and amenities, and now Entegra is dipping their toes in the water. Could be the start of a genuine industry trend! ? (fingers crossed!)

I did a little research on the Reatta, and it's a good idea, but the only went down to a 37' package, plenty of those around already. Newmar has been making 37' models in the Ventana, Ventana LE and Dutch Star for years. For me the only Class A that competes with the New Aire in size is the Tiffin Breeze @ 34 ft. But it does not have the Luxury features that the New Aire shor bus has......

Thank you for investing your time and energy into looking at the product. I can't image switching away from Newmar for several reasons and have been a voracious consumer of any content I can find about the New Aire, because I am ready to move from my 40' gas coach to a diesel and a shorter option. I have been following of you guys since I landed in this RV world on Dec 2015 and I consider you both to offer quality and unbiased product references... thank you!

It appears you shot the video in the 3341 floorplan. My biggest speed bump is deciding on which floorplan to purchase. What drivers caused you to shoot the video in the 3341? Personal preference perhaps? My current coach has the full wall slide and I am leaning toward go away from it. ~thank you

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the kind words. We did, indeed, shoot the interview on a 3341... which is actually a 2018. When we made the arrangements to be at Newmar to do this video, they weren't sure if they'd have a 2019 available. And, when we arrived, they didn't, so they set up the 2018 unit that they DID have so that we could get our cameras in place for the shoot... which we did. Afterwards, John heard from production that a 2019 with the new 3345 floorplan had just cleared to a point that it could be made available, so they brought it over and opened it up for us. So all of the close-up, detail shots of the 2019 features were done on that coach (the right-hand one in the shot showing the two side-by-side). So we didn't "choose" which year or floorplan to shoot in... we were happy to have access to whatever they had available at the time.

sorry to ask a follow up question so soon, but it just occurred to me. I thought the exterior model on the right was the shadow, but the Newmar video for 2019 shows the shadow to be something else. The exterior doesn't seem match the moonbeam (which I suspect is the model on the left) either. Can you confirm the rig on the right is the glacier one? ~thank you

Pete - John: I'm with you on Newmar, I currently own a 2013 Mountain Aire, and love it. My lifestyle is such that I dock in private RV parks and a few resorts, rather than in NP's. I visit NP's, I just refuse to dock there in season because of the crowds and noise. I pull a toad use my NP pass to get into the park and enjoy everything it has to offer. The New Aire almost changed my mind re: moving up to the London Aire or Essex. It is gorgeous and has such great space. But I think I'll stick to my original plans, maybe in 5 years after I have had my LA or Essex, I'll consider a New Aire, because I'll be slowing down some, but still FT'ing. Just spending less time traveling from place to place and more time in one place. Thank you guys for all the great vids.......

Hi Rory! It's always great to hear from a fellow Newmar owner, and we're never surprised to hear that we're not the only ones who love ours. Sounds like you've got a great way of life, and a great plan for more. Thanks for sharing. ?

It's a great product and needed in the RV industry. I hope tiffin brings out a product like this New Aire. Tiffin had the Breez but it's not on this leavel. I'm a Tiffin guy but if I was in the market for a high end diesel coach I would go King Aire

Tiffin was an innovator with smaller diesel pushers, but you're right... not on the level of a New Aire. And we also agree... King Aires rock!
