Using only the latest equipment and application techniques, Newmar paint technicians use between 12 and 16 gallons of paint per Essex unit. Several types of primer are administered, followed by a base coat, graphics, and clear coat protection.

In every Essex, you’ll find a 605-horsepower Cummins X15 diesel engine with Connected Diagnostics and Comfort Drive adaptive steering with passive steer technology.

Comfort Drive is an intelligent steering system that adapts to your inputs while actively working to eliminate friction, creating a self-straightening steering wheel that lets you navigate twists and turns with more confidence and less effort. On the highway, Comfort Drive’s self-straightening steering wheel adjusts to heavy crosswinds, making it easy to stay in your lane, no matter the conditions. Comfort Drive in the Newmar Essex even allows you to fully rotate your steering wheel from a dead stop, making parking and maneuvering through tight spaces an effortless experience.
