2017 Newmar Dutch Star 4381

2017 Newmar Dutch Star 4381 – Rare 3-Year Production Floorplan | One Owner 450HP Spartan K2 Chassis • Disc Brakes All Around • Comfort Steer Tag Axle • Oasis Diesel Heat

The Newmar Dutch Star 4381 was produced for only three model years — 2015, 2016, and 2017 — making it one of the rarest floorplans in the Dutch Star lineup. This one-owner example was custom-ordered new with the premium Spartan K2 chassis, factory disc brakes on all axles (a custom-order option not found on comparable units from the same era), and a long list of factory options. Finished in Prism full-body graphics with Newmar's Masterpiece clearcoat, Abyss interior with Carmel Glaze Cherry cabinetry, this coach has been professionally serviced every single year of ownership and has received a comprehensive slate of recent updates. For the buyer who wants a fully sorted, uniquely equipped luxury diesel pusher without the risk of deferred maintenance or unknown history, this coach is ready to go.

CHASSIS, POWER & DRIVING CONFIDENCE

• Spartan K2 450HP Cummins ISL Engine – Custom-ordered on the premium Spartan K2 chassis, providing superior frame strength and a fundamentally more refined driving platform than the standard Freightliner option available on comparable Dutch Stars of this era.

• Disc Brakes All Around – A factory custom-order option not included on other Dutch Star 4381 units in the same model years. All-wheel disc braking delivers shorter stopping distances, better fade resistance, and more consistent pedal feel at highway speeds — a significant mechanical advantage over air drum configurations.

• Comfort Steer Tag Axle with Low-Speed Steering – Tag axle stability at highway speeds combined with a tighter turning radius in campgrounds and fuel stops — a combination that makes a large coach significantly easier to place.

• Front Shocks Upgraded (Factory Option) – Upgraded at time of build for improved ride quality and reduced body motion on rough pavement.

• Engine Block Heater – Protects the diesel powerplant in cold-weather conditions and reduces wear on cold starts.

• Annual Professional Service – Serviced every year at a Spartan-authorized facility or SWFL RV Service, providing a consistent and documented maintenance history from new.

A NOTE ON THE 4381 FLOORPLAN — BAY ACCESS

The 4381 layout leaves the wet bay, power bay, and diesel burner bay fully accessible at full standing height — no slide overhead to duck under. For owners who maintain their own coach or simply want clean access to their systems, this is a day-to-day practical advantage that owners of other floorplans will immediately recognize.

The Dutch Star 4381 simply does not come up often — three model years of production, and this one was built the way the original owner wanted it, maintained professionally every year, and updated comprehensively throughout ownership. It arrives to the next owner with fresh tires front and rear, fresh batteries, a resealed roof, and a fully serviced Oasis system.
