Driver’s side cockpit window is fogged to the point of zero usable visibility. This is a known issue among other owners of Newmar products with Fresco frameless windows. Neither Newmar nor Fresco will cover any cost of replacement or repair. This is a $2200 window to replace so many owners will try to live with it, causing a major hazard to other vehicles.

Wet bay door skin adhesive is failing on many units causing the door skin to become detached and blow off of the vehicle while driving. This happened to ours and we’ve seen many other units with the same issue. The dealers know this is an issue but Newmar will not address.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
