This model has the rear kitchen design. I would appreciate some input about Newmar in general and the rear kitchen design in particular. Other than personal choice, is there any negatives to the rear kitchen? Thanks-Tod

We chose the rear kitchen on both of the fifthwheels we have owned. What we like is having the kitchen in the rear gives us more windows. we can see out the rear and both sides plus out the big slide towards the front. Dark is all I see visiting rear living models. I believe it is a great brand

The subject of rear kitchens has been brought up many times here and the consensus is always that those of us that have them, like them.

Newmar has in the past generally built a good coach. You must be aware though of the weights as I understand they are rather heavy.

If you like rear kitchen you don't have to worry about Newmar .They build a very good trailer and they are in bussines for a long time.

I've read posts claiming that rear kitchen models have more problems with dishes breaking, etc. We're on our 3rd rear kitchen model now and haven't really had that problem. With our last one we did have a couple stoneware plates and cups break once, but the road was so rough that we also lost a window and had a flat tire. (Most of my fillings stayed put.)
