2005 Newmar Essex – 500HP Cummins Diesel Pusher – NO RESERVE
Originally a nearly $500,000 luxury motorhome!
The Newmar Essex was Newmar’s flagship luxury diesel pusher in 2005, representing some of the finest craftsmanship, construction, and amenities available in a motorhome at the time.
Newmar is well known for building high-quality luxury motorhomes, and the Essex was at the top of its lineup. These coaches were built with premium materials, residential-style interiors, and heavy-duty diesel chassis.
2005 Newmar Essex Factory Highlights:
* 500 HP Cummins ISM turbo diesel engine
* Heavy-duty Spartan K2 chassis with tag axle
* Allison 4000MH 6-speed automatic transmission
* HWH hydraulic and air leveling system
* 15,000 lb. rated towing hitch
* One-piece molded fiberglass roof
* Full-body painted exterior
* Beautiful hardwood cabinetry and premium woodwork
* Corian countertops and polished porcelain tile flooring
* King-size bed
* Hydronic heating system
* Large basement storage compartments
* High-end residential-style interior finishes
Depending on floorplan and options, the 45-foot Essex models had original MSRPs around $485,000.
Engine and Generator:
The Cummins diesel engine starts up and runs great! An attached video shows the engine running.
The onboard diesel generator also starts up and runs.
Known Conditions:
* Needs new batteries
* Needs new tires
* Front paint protection film (PPF) has deteriorated, causing the white appearance. The original paint is still underneath the film, which can be removed before polishing.
* None of the slideouts or house systems have been tested. Their operating condition is unknown.
* Exterior mirrors need to be remounted.
* The motorhome has been sitting for several years, and mice have gotten inside. This is why the seat upholstery has been chewed. Additional rodent-related damage may be present.
* Salvage title
The pictures speak for themselves. This is not a perfect motorhome, and it will need work. However, the Essex was an exceptionally high-end motorhome when new, and there are plenty of possibilities for someone willing to put time and effort into bringing it back to its former glory.
This could be a great opportunity for someone looking for a luxury diesel pusher restoration project. With the right attention and investment, there is potential to make this an awesome motorhome again.
Please review all photos and the attached running video carefully. Factory specifications are provided for reference; the condition and operation of untested equipment are not guaranteed.
