Newmar Motor Home Construction Techniques | IndependenceRV.com

Setting New Standards for RV Quality Construction

The most important ingredient of outstanding RV quality is people who really care. This is one of the core beliefs making Newmar motor homes so different in the recreational vehicle industry.

High-quality Amish craftsmanship is the hallmark of the Newmar construction process. Newmar’s Dealer Quality Inspection team painstakingly reviews all Newmar motor homes to ensure every detail is correct. Before a Newmar motorhome is shipped, it has been checked and re-checked for real-world performance.


Motorhome Excellence—From The Ground Up
Newmar motorhomes start with an innovative chassis weld process to ensure every Newmar RV drives with less noise, a smoother ride and a longer service life. After the chassis is leveled and squared, it is painstakingly integrated into the rest of the structure for strength and integrity. Sub-floor structures are welded to the chassis rail and insulated for easy climate control. See videos of Newmar’s chassis weld and chassis preparation.


The Finest RV Flooring

The flooring in every Newmar RV — from the high-quality, durable tile to the plush, luxurious carpeting—is placed with the highest level of care. Tile is laid and bonded with quality adhesives, so tiles don't lift and grout doesn't crack.

Carpeting and padding are cut back from the walls to ensure moisture doesn't seep in, and the recreational vehicle's walls rest on a firm foundation. Take a look at a video of the Newmar flooring process.


Unique, Custom-Built, Handcrafted Cabinetry
All Newmar cabinetry is custom built in Newmar’s Nappanee, Indiana facility. All joints on the hardwood cabinets are glued and then screwed together to add extra durability. The hand-sanded finishes help minimize seams so the cabinetry is as beautiful as it is durable. See videos of how Newmar builds its cabinets and countertops.


The Strongest Sidewalls and Roofs

Newmar RV sidewalls are designed like those of residential homes, to make them more rigid and dependable. By building aluminum frames with studs 16 inches on center, the sidewalls and roof will form a strong, lightweight, integrated structure so the Newmar recreational vehicle provides superior insulation. Check out videos of the Newmar sidewall and roofing construction process.


Patented Slideout Designs
Newmar pushed the RV industry forward by introducing the first flat-floor slideouts. Newmar continues to lead today with its patented flat-floor slideout designs. The same insight and experience employed to improve slideout functionality has also helped to improve slideout quality. Newmar slideouts include bulb seals to block out moisture, and many models feature power locking arms to create a compressive seal with the coach wall. See a video of Newmar’s patented slideout designs.


Functional, Comfortable Interiors And Exteriors

The difference is in the details. A key reason why Newmar lays its own tile flooring. In addition, Newmar built an innovative paint facility allowing this RV manufacturer to offer one of the most highly desired exterior finishes in the industry.

Rigorous Quality Control. Award-Winning Customer Support

Before Newmar ships a completed motorhome, it is tested and inspected with a rigorous multi-step weighing and inspection process. The chassis is laser aligned after assembly to ensure a straight and stable ride.

Finally, Newmar continues to support every Newmar owner with award-winning service. Newmar has bestowed its highest Customer Satisfaction award - the Mahlon Miller Service Excellence Award to Independence RV as America’s best RV and Warranty Service Center for two years in a row.
