Questions owners ask

Where can I find the Newmar Mountain Aire owner's manual?

Newmar keeps its owner's manuals online. Look up your model year there. Our free manuals on this page explain how each system works.

Does the Newmar Mountain Aire have any recalls?

Yes. NHTSA lists 71 recalls for it. The most common area is service brakes. Check your own VIN on the NHTSA site to see if yours was fixed.

Is a recall repair free on a used RV?

Yes. A safety recall is fixed free by the maker's dealers no matter who owns the rig now or how old it is. Call the maker or any dealer for that brand with your VIN.

Where is the VIN on an RV?

Look for a sticker by the entry door, inside a cabinet near the door, or on the tongue or front frame of a trailer. The title and registration show it too.
