Courious:

Whatever happened to the Spartan mid-engine DP....toy hauler?

Was it difficult to work on? Too expensive? Troublesome? No dealer network? Or is it alive and well...but no advertising?

I think Newmar dropped them. I know a guy that loves his, no problems. I think they just didn't sell that well.

Not enough volume to support production at a price folks were willing to pay. - No market for the product.

I remember seeing the Newmar floorplan with two-level bedroom configuration--"great for families", but my first question was what about basement storage? Should handle well being mid-engined!
