2006 Monaco LaPalma gas

Hi all,
Looking at a 2006 Monaco LaPalma with 30k miles on a Ford chassis. I have had 5th wheels for many years but have decided to go to a class A so this is my first one. Looking for opinions good and bad from those of you who know something about this coach and/or chassis.Cosmetically it is very nice inside and out. This particular coach floor plan suits us and the price is budget friendly. Thanks.
Class A

    Does it have the 06 Ford chassis or the 04/05 Ford chassis ?

    It will have a 5 speed if its the 06, you can tell by turning on motor and pushing the knob on end of shifter and see if it lights up on dash that says Tow-Haul mode.

    As far as I am concerned is it being the 06 chassis that is better, it has the 5 speed trans and the 3 valve V-10 with better HP and torque than the older 04/05 chassis.
