I would buy the Monaco. In my Used Diesel search 1.5 years ago, I considered Monaco, Winnebago, Newmar, Entegra, etc etc. The only brand I absolutely would not consider is Tiffin.
I would never consider any Tiffin due to Fiberglass Cracking issues, using wood in their slide out floors, roof cracking issues, and using wood in their understorage compartment floors. I think some years used substandard paint that also had problems cracking.
I don't really care if Tiffin will the fix these items or not, I don't have time to run to Alabama each time one of the issues crop up. I would rather have no issues at all.
Your Mileage may vary, but in my research this was the right choice for me.
Would you rather have an orphan coach with no design defects and harder to get parts, or a coach with tons of design defects and easy to get parts, but you have to drive to Alabama each time you need a defect remedied? Easy choice for me.
So far in my used 2009 Safari(Monaco) Cheetah, I have encountered 0 design defects, and has never been in the shop (Except for engine work)
