I am getting close to retirement and plan on buying my first RV. I plan on doing it right the first time so I have been doing months and months of research. I plan to spend 4-6 months each year traveling throughout North America from Key West, Florida to Juno, Alaska and everywhere in between. I hope to continue this experience for at least 20 years hopefully in the same RV than one day turn the keys over to my kids. With that being said I have narrowed down my search to two models that I think will meet my needs, Entegra Cornerstone & Newmar London Aire. I was hoping anyone that owns either of these models may be able to shed a little light on their experiences. Sure I like to hear all the good things but I really want to hear the negatives. If I am going to shelve out $500,000 I want to make sure I will have the most comfortable and reliable coach for years to come. And if you feel there is a better coach that falls within this price range please chime in.
Jon and Joni,
I don't mean to throw a monkey wrench in the mix, but there is a Prevost show/rally in Tampa or near there at the Parliament converter (January 5th-9th, 2015). There will be many, many used coaches on display from all converters.
If you want a 20 yr. coach with a 1,000,000 mile chassis, you might want to take a peek at a used Prevost. $500K would get you 2004-2007 coach depending on the Prevost converter.
Join www.prevostcommunity.com to read everything Prevost. It's free but you have to sign up. They also have a large list of coaches for sale on their site.
It also amazes me how a 15 yr. old Prevost only looks a few years old.
Good luck,
Mark
On edit: The Parliament rally is in Clearwater, FL.
