How did you get "cheated" ? Did they just screw up the order ?

Inspected three different Newmars in Vegas. Now downgrading to typical Winnebago!
The 2020 models were much better in furniture than nothignless than garbage of the 2021s and only30% off MSRP.

Keep in mind, they also own now Country Coach along with Newmar. As I understand, they will start cranking them up soon.

It won't take that long for them to turn down the QA and QC meters just the same as they did with Grand Design. They're nothing more than a holding company the same as Thor or Forest River where RVs are a by product of the main business of making money.

Well when I did a full search, nothing came up.
The Class C's look very similar to the Renegade - anyone notice that?
