1996-2006 Newmar Dutch Star, Driver or Passenger, Seat Belt
Seatbelt Planet's 1996-2006 Newmar Dutch Star, Driver or Passenger, Seat Belt. 3 Point Retractable Lap & Shoulder Seat Belt Kit with End Release Buckle
Newmar has a strong reputation for building coaches that last, and the Dutch Star is a big part of that story. Plenty of Dutch Stars from 1996 to 2006 are still touring the country, often on their second or third owner. If you bought one used and are working through the list of things to refresh, add the cockpit seat belts. The Seatbelt Planet 1996-2006 Newmar Dutch Star Driver or Passenger Seat Belt replaces one cockpit belt.
Belt Specs
The listing describes a 3-point retractable lap and shoulder seat belt kit with an end release buckle. It is sold for the driver or passenger seat, one belt per order.
Buying a Used Coach? Check the Belts
A pre-owned motorhome inspection usually focuses on the engine, generator, roof, and slides. Seat belts are easy to miss, but they matter every time the coach moves. When you look at the cockpit belts, check for:
- Fraying along the edges, especially near the buckle and the upper guide
- Fading or stiffness from years of sun through the windshield
- Slow retraction or a belt that hangs loose when you let go
- Buckles that stick or release with difficulty
- Missing belts, which sometimes happens after seat swaps
Any of these is a good reason to replace the belt before your first big trip.
Comfort on Long Drives
Dutch Star owners often cover hundreds of miles in a day. A fresh retractor keeps light, steady tension on the belt, so it stays comfortable across your shoulder for hours. A worn retractor can leave slack that feels sloppy or pull too hard and cause fatigue. New belts make long travel days more pleasant.
Color Choices
Webbing is offered in 52 colors, from black and the classic edge stripes to brights and earth tones, and specialty shades such as M-Stripe, the edge colors, Bone and White carry an upcharge shown in the color picker. Black looks right in most Newmar cockpits. Silver-Edge pairs nicely with lighter leather or vinyl upholstery.

Installation Advice
Coach seats are typically heavy and may sit on swivel bases. Before installing, make sure the seat is in a secure position and the mounting points are sound. Note how the original belt is routed, then install the new belt with the webbing flat and the hardware tight. Test the retractor and buckle with the seat facing forward in its driving position. An RV technician can help if needed.
