In owners' words
What King Aire owners report
Recent structure complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
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.
