Newmar Corp. handed off the keys to the new owner of the 1000th Essex built at its Nappanee, Ind.-based complex.

Shown in the photo, 2013 Essex owner Steve Biddle proudly accepted the keys to the coach from CEO Richard Parks (R) and Vice President of Sales & Marketing John Sammut.

Biddle noted: “I am very proud to own a Newmar product built by wonderful craftsman and in such a wonderful community. Newmar’s dedicated high-end service is what keeps me coming back.”

The Essex line evolved from the Mountain Aire Limited in 2003. The luxury motorhome features high-end cabinetry and exquisite paint finishes. According to Newmar, the Essex “redefined the high-end market and has stood the test of time.”

Established in 1968, Newmar is privately owned company with a dealer network that spans across the United States and Canada. For more information about Newmar products, visit www.newmarcorp.com.
