A major advantage to buying your new Winnebago or Newmar Freedom Aire from Lichtsinn RV, the #1 Winnebago Dealer in North America, is the fact that we are located only 1-mile from the Winnebago Motorhome Factory in Forest City, Iowa. The Newmar Freedom Aire is built in Nappanee, Indiana so we invest in having each Freedom Aire transported to our dealership on a flatbed truck. This means that if you buy a Winnebago or Newmar Freedom Aire from Lichtsinn RV, you don’t have to worry about whether a delivery driver ate, drank, or lived in your brand-new RV before you did.
A dealer might not tell you about how crucial the first 1,000 miles is for the engine break-in period if your new Winnebago or Newmar Freedom Aire you are looking at there already has the 1,000 miles or more on it before you even step foot inside the coach. Motorhome chassis manufacturers have recommendations for correctly breaking in the engine. When you purchase from Lichtsinn RV you can control the critical engine break-in period and not leave it up to a delivery driver towing their personal vehicle across the country.
The manufacturers recommend the following for proper engine break-in:
- No towing for the first 1,000 miles
- No full throttle starts for the first 1,000 miles
- Use varying speeds every couple of hours to seat the cylinders in the new engine
When you purchase a new Winnebago or Newmar Freedom Aire from a dealer located farther from the factory, your motorhome is typically driven by a transport company from the manufacturing facility to the dealership before you ever take ownership. For Winnebago motorhomes, this transport begins in Forest City, Iowa, where Lichtsinn RV is located. Newmar Freedom Aire motorhomes are transported from the Newmar manufacturing facility in Nappanee, Indiana. During transit, transport drivers often tow a personal vehicle behind the RV, which may not align with the manufacturers’ recommended engine break-in procedures. Other important recommendations, such as avoiding full-throttle starts and varying engine speeds during the initial miles, may also not be consistently followed. As a result, you cannot be certain that the recommended break-in procedures or best driving practices were observed before your new motorhome arrived at the dealership.
When you purchase a new Winnebago or Newmar Freedom Aire motorhome from Lichtsinn RV, you will be the first person behind the wheel during the critical engine break-in period. This gives you the confidence of knowing your motorhome has no delivery miles and allows you to follow the manufacturer’s recommended break-in procedures from the very first mile. During your complimentary, comprehensive RV orientation, your Lichtsinn RV Orientation Specialist will review these recommendations to help you start your ownership experience with confidence.
