2006 country coach inspire 360

Looking at 2006 country coach 360 inspire 400 hp cat tell me the good and bad thanks Tom
  • One, fourteen years old. Two, maintenance records complete? Review them closely. Compare with manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Check out Country Coach specific forums.

    When we were looking at CCs some years ago, I steered clear of the whole Inspire line. I think the line was introduced when National RV bought CC. Inspires seemed like cheap CCs.

    But better to ask owners.
  • The Inspire were a fresher more modern interior design then the Allure on up models, when it first came out. It was built to be the entry level into the CC lineup. So some of the materials and components and build technique were not the same. The Inspire for that era, compared to other entry to mid level coaches of other coach builders - was a good value. I'd consider the entry level Inspire, to be closer to many manufactures of that times mid level models. The CAT C9 has good power for the weight of the coach. One other comment on the Inspire vs say the Allure/Intrigue/Magna/Affinity - is they were much simpler and less complex coaches. Some years they did not have the Hydro/AquaHot, and went with Propane Water Heaters, as one example.

    I know many CC owner's that own Inspires, and are very pleased and proud of their coaches...

    Agree with the comments about look for maintenance records, and condition of coach - but that is for any coach, not just CC Inspire's. If you are not comfortable doing your own inspection, hire and 'independent' inspector to review the coach. (Not a dealer trying to sell the same coach...)

    And if you have more finite questions, do check some of the CC Owner's Groups. IRV2, Facebook, etc. They will have members who can provide more finite info on Inspires.

    Good luck on your hunt,
