Newmar Offering Unique Steering System on All Diesel Motorhomes
Released March 22, 2007
NAPPANEE, Ind.—Newmar Corporation, the Indiana-based manufacturer of high quality Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels,
This standard feature, developed by TRW Automotive, Spartan® Chassis, and Newmar, was unveiled this week at the FMCA International Rally in Perry, Georgia.
"Because of our strategic partnership with Spartan, we now have the ability to offer this unique feature on all of our diesel products," said John Sammut, Newmar's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Once a customer drives a Newmar motorhome with Comfort Drive Steering we are confident they will never own another motorhome without it."
Comfort Drive Steering is an intelligent steering system that decreases driver fatigue often associated with operating a typical diesel motorhome over long distances. It also aids a driver to maintain a straight path by compensating for cross-winds and crowns in the road. Comfort Drive creates a positive on-center feel which reduces parking efforts and improves reversibility when backing up a motorhome. Newmar is in its second year of it exclusivity on this innovative technology with TRW and Spartan. Newmar first introduced the Comfort Drive Steering System on its 2007 Luxury products.
"It is our belief that Comfort Drive Steering will revolutionize the diesel motorhome market," stated Sammut. "It is the most significant development in the motorhome chassis market since the creation of the diesel pusher chassis."
The entire 2008 motorized line-up also features a one-piece windshield and Full-paint Masterpiece Finish™.
"Our company has listened to our dealers and our retail customers," added Sammut. "As a result, we have added one-piece windshields and full-paint exterior graphics to all of our motorhome products."
Other noticeable features added this year include new exterior graphics and colors, interior décor upgrades, larger TVs, and the All Star Mid-Engine Diesel product underwent a lifecycle change and is sporting new front and rear caps, and a new dash.
