About Newmar

Newmar Corporation is a manufacturer of handcrafted luxury Class A and Super C motorhomes based in Nappanee, Indiana. Founded in 1968 by Marvin Miller and Marvin Newcomer, the company has been a subsidiary of Winnebago Industries since 2019, operating alongside Winnebago's other motorized and towable brands. Newmar's current lineup includes gas and diesel Class A coaches such as the King Aire, London Aire, Dutch Star, and Bay Star, plus Super C models including the Super Star, Supreme Aire, and Summit Aire. The company exited the fifth-wheel travel-trailer category in 2012 to focus exclusively on motorized coaches.

How they build

Newmar states its founding mission was to build the best-quality recreational vehicles rather than the most, rooted in the Mennonite and Amish values of its hometown of Nappanee, Indiana — community, service, and hardworking earnestness — which it says still guide its manufacturing decisions today.
