NAPPANEE, IN. Newmar Corporation, is pleased to announce a new wheelchair accessible floor plan designed exclusively for the Canyon Star gas motorhome line up for 2012.

Newmar has had numerous conversations with retail customers about their desire to purchase a wheelchair accessible motorhome. In response to their specific needs, Newmar’s engineering department has developed a new Canyon Star 3911 gas motorhome floorplan which addresses many of the features our customers have requested.

The 2012 Canyon Star 3911 features include:

• Grab assist bars have been placed in the shower and around the stool.

In the kitchen Newmar has incorporated a new cook top and microwave combination that places the convection microwave below the cook top for easy access by a wheelchair occupant.

The Canyon Star 3911 has a standard “L” dinette that allows seating on the side or back bench as well as plenty of space to accommodate a wheelchair.

Other features include moving all the switches, monitor panel, and EMS panel from the top of the entrance door cabinet to a cabinet just behind the passenger seat for access while sitting in wheelchair.
