Discover the Benefits and Learn What You Need to Know Before Owning a Luxury Coach
If you’re in the market for a high-end motorhome, there’s no question that a diesel pusher Class A RV should be at the top of your list. These powerful, luxurious coaches are known for their durability, comfort, and long-term value. But purchasing one brand new can come with a hefty price tag — which is exactly why buying a used diesel pusher, like the 2015 Newmar Dutch Star 4369, can be one of the smartest investments for RV enthusiasts.
In this blog, we’ll break down:
- Why a diesel pusher is worth it
- What to know before owning one
- What makes the 2015 Newmar Dutch Star 4369 an exceptional choice
Why Choose a Diesel Pusher Motorhome?
- Superior Power and Performance
Diesel pushers are designed for long-haul travel and heavy-duty performance. Their rear-mounted diesel engines (hence “pusher”) offer better torque, smoother acceleration, and a quieter ride in the cabin. With greater towing capacity and better fuel economy than their gas counterparts, diesel pushers are ideal for full-time RVers, cross-country travelers, and those towing a car or trailer. - Longer Lifespan & Better Resale Value
Diesel engines are built to go the distance — often exceeding 300,000 to 500,000 miles when properly maintained. That means a well-cared-for used diesel pusher can provide decades of reliable use. Additionally, diesel pushers tend to retain value better than gas motorhomes, making them a smart long-term investment. - Enhanced Ride Comfort
Thanks to air ride suspension, air brakes, and often independent front suspension, diesel pushers offer an ultra-smooth, quiet, and stable driving experience — especially over long distances and varied terrain.
What You Need to Know Before Owning a Diesel Pusher
Buying a luxury motorhome is exciting — but understanding what’s involved in ownership and maintenance is key to enjoying the experience long-term. Here are a few must-knows:
Regular Maintenance is Crucial
While diesel engines are highly durable, preventive maintenance is essential to keep them running efficiently. You’ll need to schedule:
- Oil and filter changes (approx. every 10,000–15,000 miles or annually)
- Coolant system checks
- Fuel filter replacement
- Air dryer servicing (for air brakes)
- Chassis and suspension inspections
Expect slightly higher maintenance costs than a gas motorhome, but lower frequency of service needs balances this out over time.
Learn Your Onboard Systems
Luxury diesel pushers like the Newmar Dutch Star come with advanced electrical systems, hydronic heating, multiplex wiring, and automated features. Learning how to operate these systems (or having a walk-through by a professional) helps you avoid user errors and improves your comfort and efficiency on the road.
Insurance & Storage Considerations
Diesel pushers often require specialized insurance coverage, which may be a bit higher than standard RVs due to their value. Additionally, due to their length and height, you may need premium storage space when not in use — or plan to travel frequently enough that storage isn’t an issue.
