2005 43′ Newmar Mountain Aire Diesel Pusher Motorhome For Sale

Don’t change the channel… you read that right!

After custom-ordering our RV brand new from Newmar in 2005, and loving it full-time for more than 18 years, we’re making a change. It’s time for us to pass our rig along to a lucky new owner, who will surely enjoy one of the best-equipped RVs on the road — the awesome motorhome we’ve extensively customized and so lovingly cared for all these years. Will it be you? (or maybe someone you know who’s looking for a new RV?)

You’ve seen our rig featured prominently: for five seasons on The RVers on the Discovery Channel, PBS, and streaming services; on the RVgeeks YouTube channel; and of course, right here on our blog. Now, after all these years of TLC, our time with it will become a wonderful memory.

If you’ve followed us very long, you know our rig is incredibly well-equipped for serious boondocking (1,300-watt solar system, 600 Ah lithium house battery, large holding tanks, two cellular connectivity systems, 7.5 kW Onan generator, etc), and ideally set up for luxury living, too (separate washer & dryer, dishwasher, virtually unlimited hot water, RV king bed, and other high-end features throughout).

Leather sofas, bright & airy interior, maple coffee table & cabinetry, and plenty of space make this a great place to entertain guests, or just spread out and relax.

Check out the long list of features, options, upgrades, and photos, below.

MANY of our 300+ videos feature our extensive upgrades over the years. We’ll link to some of them here, but you can check out our YouTube channel to see many more.

• Floorplan 4304 — 4 slide-outs — RV king bed — Split bath — “Verde” exterior & interior color scheme with Summer Maple hardwood
• Spartan Mountain Master Chassis with 400 HP / 1,200 lb-ft torque Cummins ISL Turbo Diesel engine and Allison MH3000 transmission
• A truly unique one-owner RV — surely one of the best-maintained and equipped rigs on the road
• Custom-ordered, meticulously maintained, and very much loved since new by the RVgeeks
• Extensive upgrades, customizations, and extras
• Tens of thousands of $$ worth of unique, high-end equipment installed and included
• No accidents or body damage of any kind ever (driven exclusively by a former professional motorcoach operator and driving instructor… and bus driving champion (yes, that’s a thing!) — RVgeeks Driving School videos here)
• Complete and extensive service records
• Pre-dates DEF, so none needed!
• Our RV has always been smoke-, pet-, kid-, and shoe-free
• Bright, open, clean interior, awash in tasteful solid maple throughout
• 113,000 miles — (Very low mileage on a diesel pusher isn’t necessarily desirable. Sitting around for months on end leads to all kinds of LOT ROT, and diesel engines can last a million miles. This RV and all its systems have been used and maintained regularly over its entire life.)
• $115,000 USD. If you’re Canadian, $CAD is fine as well (we’re dual citizens), using the current conversion rate at the time of sale.

Currently located in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, about 90 minutes east of Vancouver, Canada, one lucky buyer will be just the second owner of this fantastic rig.

If you, or someone you know, are looking for an RV like ours, and you think this might be a good fit, CONTACT US!

For serious inquiries only, please use our business contact form at this link to reach us about our RV for sale.

We will, of course, spend time with the new owner, getting them oriented and up-to-speed on every system we’ve installed (there’s a lot, and we want you to get the most out of all the systems). You will not find another RV like this one anywhere. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own one of the most renowned and extensively equipped motorhomes on the road.

FYI — in case you’re wondering… we’re selling our RV because we’ll be downsizing. Stay tuned for details about our new rig right here on our blog by making sure you’re subscribed!

Factory-Installed Options

We factory-ordered our rig with the following options and custom upgrades:

• Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher
• Separate stackable washer & dryer (we replaced the original units with a large-capacity Maytag washing machine and a Whirlpool 120V vented dryer)
• Intellitec 50-amp Smart EMS Energy Management System (monitors shore power usage and sheds loads to avoid tripping the breaker on power pedestals)
• 30″ GE Speedcook Advantium microwave oven
• Combination desk/dinette table with two fixed chairs & two folding chairs (the original table was replaced with an oversized custom-built solid maple table with 2 leaves, which we made a detailed video about.)
• Power lock arms on all four slide-outs (they operate automatically when extending/retracting the slide rooms)
• 3/4-width steel carpeted slide-out tray in one basement storage compartment
• Full-width pass-through steel carpeted slide-out tray extends out both sides of another basement storage compartment.
• Maple hardwood window treatments in the living area
• Central power basement door locks (this wasn’t even an option on the Mountain Aire in ’05, but Newmar approved our order for it. For 18 years, this has saved us the annoyance of carrying keys around the rig, locking and unlocking individual basement doors as we need access).
• Curb-side L-lounge sofa
• Kitchen-counter-height bathroom vanity (a one-off custom order that we, and our backs, have never regretted)!

Photo Gallery

Every photo here (including the featured image at the top of this page) was taken within the past few days, so everything you see shows the current equipment and condition of our rig. Every cabinet, compartment, and storage area is as neat, clean, and well-cared for as all of the main areas shown in the photos.

We’ve seen LOTS of older (and not so old) RVs that have clearly been owned by people who are much less anal-retentive neat freaks meticulous than we are. You know how so many rigs have all kinds of stains where tools, lubricants, spare parts, and supplies were stored in the basement and slide-out trays? The carpeting in our entire basement is absolutely spotless. Guests who come aboard our rig tell us all the time that they can’t believe any 18-year-old RV could possibly look so good and so new in so many ways. We love hearing that. 😁 Pride of ownership rules!!

Our home for the past 18 years can now be yours!

Well cared for and much-loved since the day it rolled off the assembly line (we were at the Newmar factory in Nappanee to see that!)

MCD windshield screens in place, and slides & awnings out.

New top-quality Tough Top Awnings fabric on all awnings and slide toppers.

TWO Tough Top Awnings privacy panels are included.

Ruggids step covers are the best on the market.

Our Mountain Aire still reflects the scenery after 18 years.

Two tandem series-parallel banks of 4 solar panels each allows us to tilt 4 of them with SolaRVector power lift kits, while leaving the 4 flexible panels flat.

1,300 watts of solar in two tandem banks. 4 rigid panels on motorized lifts, and 4 flexible panels that remain flat.

A fiberglass roof is super durable and the lack of seams is a great advantage. Fewer seams = less potential for leaks.

When we installed our 1,300 watts of solar, we left plenty of space to walk around the roof.

6 of the 8 Michelin tires are brand new. The remaining 2 were rotated from the steer axle to the tag axle at 5 years old.

Snap Ring tire savers are the best tire covers on the market. They help our tires safely achieve their maximum useful life.

600Ah Xantrex lithium house battery and dual Fullriver AGM chassis batteries.

Leather sofas, maple coffee table and plenty of space make this a great place to entertain guests, or just spread out and relax.

We’ve found the carpeting in our Newmar Mountain Aire to be cozy and comfortable. But we’ve never worn shoes inside, and we’ve politely asked guests to do the same in an effort to keep our carpet in great shape.

A bright, open, inviting space!

Lots of solid Corian counter space for meal prep.

Brand new 3-burner stainless steel cooktop with cast iron grate.

Fisher & Paykel dish drawer dishwasher.

Our new residential fridge with ice maker. Lots of room for stocking up on food, fed by plenty of solar and lithium power.

Fully ducted A/C allows for great air circulation throughout the rig.

Our cousin is a cabinet- and furniture-maker who built this amazing (and huge!) table as a housewarming gift for us.

Tables in most RVs are a tight fit for any more than two people. Not out custom solid maple table! Four adults fit easily and comfortably.

The driver’s area includes integrated backup camera, EEZ Tire 12-tire TPMS and Garmin RV GPS.

Brand new top-of-the-line Villa power captains chairs.

Brand new ultra-leather captains seats have power everything, including tilt, recline, heat and lumber support, with power footrest for the co-pilot

The view out through the new motorized “Day” shade in the windshield.

The three new motorized “Night” shades in the windshield area also act as sun visors, allowing you to block the sun completely, without those annoying gaps between visors while driving.

Brand new dual/stacked AutoMotion day/night shades throughout the rig.

“Night” shade on the left, and “Day” shade on the right.

“Day” shades filter the sun and provide privacy during the day.

Custom RV king Mattress Insider pocketed-coil mattress.

Custom Mattress Insider RV king pocketed coil mattress.

Large linen closet in the bedroom.

Storage cubbies in bedroom closet with EEZTire TPMS repeater visible at the top.

Maytag washer & Whirlpool vented dryer hold surprisingly large wash loads.

Control panels for the 600Ah lithium battery, and the Truma on-demand water heater.

LevelMatePRO+ bluetooth leveling system included.

When we factory-ordered our rig from Newmar, we specified that the bathroom vanity would be kitchen-counter height. Our backs have thanked us ever since!

The four SolaRVector power solar panel lift kits raise the panels to any angle with the touch of a button on the remote control fob. Power is shut off during travel to prevent accidental deployment

We installed raised Hansgrohe faucets at both bathroom sinks, and in the kitchen.

The private powder room with comfortable porcelain elongated toilet.

We recently completely rebuilt/replaced the entire workings of our Thetford Aria electric-flush elongated porcelain toilet.

The three new windshield area power “Night” shades provide total privacy, eliminating the need for curtains. They’re also made from total black-out material.

Brand new AutoMotion shades throughout the rig.

The “Night” windshield shade, viewed from the outside provides darkness and total privacy.

The “Day” light-filtering/privacy shade blocks heat. You can see out during the day, but others can’t see in.

The electrical compartment includes a Hughes Autoformer, Hughes Power Watchdog, Glendinning power-retractable cord reel, and one of the two Xantrex solar charge controllers. Also included are multiple dog-bone adapters. You can also see the new Proteng fire suppression tube at the top.

One of the multitude of new Proteng fire suppression tubes installed in every important location around the rig.

Brand new dash/chassis A/C compressor.

New Roadmaster Nighthawk — the best tow bar on the market!

Our new top-of-the-line Roadmaster Nighthawk lighted tow bar is included.

Antennas for the included WeBoost cell booster (left) and Parsec Husky 7 antenna for the Pepwave system (right) have kept us connected to cell service almost anywhere.

You can take long hot showers almost forever with the Truma AquaGo Comfort Plus on-demand water heater (as long as you’re not boondocking of course)! ;-)

Quick-connect and hose for a barbecue grill, plumbed right into the RV’s on-board propane tank.

3/4 steel slide tray on the left. Full pass-through tray on the right slides out either side of the basement.

We’re including all sorts of supplies and spare parts.

TWO Tough Top Awnings privacy panels. We had made one partial-width to fit alongside the gazebo on our site, but it can be used anywhere.

We plumbed the portable Kozy World heater directly into the on-board propane system, and LOVE how toasty it keeps the entire rig in the winter… and sips propane.

MicroAir EasyTouch thermostat makes controlling the heating and A/C systems a breeze… even from bed on a cold morning.

The SeeLevel tank monitoring system takes all the guesswork out of holding tank management.

Acuva ArrowMAX 2.0 UV-LED water purification system assures safe drinking water, even directly from the on-board tank. The Hansgrohe kitchen faucet is so much nicer than the stock kitchen faucet.

EEZ Tire 12-tire TPMS and Garmin RV GPS are included.

PepWave keeps us online almost anywhere.

Our WeBoost cell booster allows us to have backups and redundant systems making sure we can get online when we need to be online.

New 42″ 4K LED TV with sound bar mounted above it.

No “Lot Rot” here! This rig has been used and cared for regularly its entire life.
