Newmar Dutch Star RV for Sale in Boise, ID
Newmar’s best-selling diesel pusher, and for good reason. A 450 hp Cummins on a tag-axle Freightliner or Spartan chassis, eight floorplans from 38 to 43 feet. Shop the Dutch Star at our Boise-area store serving the Treasure Valley.
The Coach Most Newmar Owners End Up In
If you ask us which Newmar sells the most, the answer is the Dutch Star, year after year. It sits in the sweet spot of the lineup: a proper rear-engine diesel pusher with a tag axle and serious road manners, without stepping all the way up to the Essex or King Aire. Power comes from a Cummins L-series inline six making 450 horsepower and 1,250 lb-ft of torque, riding on a Freightliner XCR or an optional Spartan K2 tag-axle chassis.
Where the Dutch Star earns its reputation is over the long haul. Newmar’s STAR Foundation gives it a quiet, planted ride, and Comfort Drive adaptive steering takes a lot of the work out of a long day in the seat, which matters when you are crossing Idaho and Oregon in a coach over 40 feet. Add the UltraSteer tag axle and it turns far tighter than its length suggests. This is the coach people buy when they intend to keep it and use it hard.
Newmar Dutch Star Specifications
The essentials at a glance. Exact figures vary by model year and floorplan, so confirm the specifics on the unit you are looking at.
What Stands Out About the Dutch Star
450 HP and a Tag Axle
The Cummins L pushing 1,250 lb-ft means grades are a non-event, even towing a vehicle. The tag axle adds stability and carrying capacity, and UltraSteer keeps it maneuverable in campgrounds.
Genuinely Quiet Ride
Newmar’s STAR Foundation is the reason a Dutch Star feels planted instead of floaty. Less road noise and less body movement add up over a long travel day.
Comfort Drive Steering
Adaptive steering with selectable feel. It takes the constant small corrections out of driving a 43-foot coach in crosswinds or truck wash, which is what actually wears a driver down.
Built to Live In
Full-wall slides, bath-and-a-half layouts, residential appliances, hardwood cabinetry, and real storage. The Dutch Star is one of the most common full-timer choices for a reason.
Popular Dutch Star Floorplans
Floorplans shift from year to year and not every layout is in stock at once. These are the ones buyers ask about most. Tell us how you travel and we will point you to the right one.
Dutch Star 3836
The shortest plan in the line. Easier to place in older campgrounds while still giving you a true diesel pusher.
Dutch Star 4081
A well-balanced mid-length layout. One of the most popular Dutch Star plans for couples who travel often.
Dutch Star 4325
Maximum living space with a full-wall slide. A common pick for full-timers who want a residential feel.
Dutch Star 4369
Triple slides with a full and half bath. The layout to look at if two people share the coach for long stretches.
Dutch Star Compared to the Rest of the Lineup

| Model | Power | Roughly | Who It Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bay Star | Gas, Ford 7.3L V8 | 31 to 38 ft | First Class A, or a downsize from diesel |
| Kountry Star | Diesel, Cummins | Mid-size | Entry into the diesel pushers |
| Dutch Star | Diesel, 450 hp Cummins L | 38 to 43 ft | The best-selling all-rounder, strong for full-timing |
| Mountain Aire | Diesel, higher output | Longer | A step up in size, finish, and features |
| Essex and King Aire | Diesel, top output | Longest | Top of the Newmar range |

Newmar Dutch Star FAQs
Is the Newmar Dutch Star a diesel pusher?
Yes. The Dutch Star is a rear-engine Class A diesel pusher built on a tag-axle Freightliner XCR chassis, with a Spartan K2 available as an option on many builds. It is Newmar’s best-selling diesel coach.
What engine and horsepower does the Dutch Star have?
Recent model years use a Cummins L-series inline six rated at 450 horsepower and 1,250 lb-ft of torque. That is enough to pull long grades comfortably while towing a vehicle behind you.
How long is a Newmar Dutch Star?
Current Dutch Star model years run about 38 to 43 feet across eight floorplans. The 3836 is the shortest, which helps in older campgrounds, and the longer plans in the low 40s give you the most living space.
What is the difference between a Dutch Star and a Mountain Aire?
Both are diesel pushers, but the Mountain Aire sits a step above: longer, higher output, and a higher level of standard finish and features. The Dutch Star is the volume seller that balances size, comfort, and price, which is why it outsells everything else Newmar builds.
What is the difference between the Dutch Star and the Bay Star?
The Bay Star is Newmar’s gas Class A on a Ford F-53 chassis, shorter and much more affordable. The Dutch Star is a full diesel pusher with a tag axle, 450 hp, air ride, and air brakes. Buyers usually move from a Bay Star up to a Dutch Star when they start traveling longer and towing more.
Is the Dutch Star good for full-time RV living?
It is one of the most common full-time coaches on the road. Full-wall slides, bath-and-a-half layouts, residential appliances, and real basement storage make it livable long term, and the diesel chassis handles the miles that come with full-timing.
