2014 Monaco Monarch vs 2014 Georgetown
Ok, so way off my original intent here...started looking at older used, deciding that I might be better off going new and trying to get a great deal. Looking at these two models, both gas, both pro...

We looked at Georgetown, not as nice if I recall lighter weight chassis & 19.5" wheels.
I want 22.5's for a better ride with a heavier chassis.
Hehe, I was/am the exact opposite - I like the 19.5" wheels and lighter chassis, in the interest of keeping things simple, and not so massive and heavy. That was why I liked the Georgetown.
Go price 19.5" tires vs 22.5" tires, you'll understand one reason why. Then, watch whats involved in changing a 19.5" tire/wheel vs the bigger 22.5" (try lifting, moving around each one, haha). Then, you'll understand another reason why. :)
Then, look at the weight ratings closely on a 22k chassis vs a 20,500 one. Note the 26k GCWR limitation they both have regardless, and the fact this means the 20,500 chassis can actually tow a bit more. There is the other reason why I prefer the 20,500 chassis.
Better ride, handling? I've ridden in both, a 22k chassis with the 22.5 wheels, and mine on the 20,500 chassis with 19.5" wheels. Haven't really noticed much of a difference.
Anyway, back to the original subject, and the last post by original poster: If you can get the Monaco model for about the same price as the Georgetown like you suggested...I would be very surprised. Would probably be seriously leaning toward the Monaco in that case. I'm betting you're going to find, though, that they want quite a bit more $$ for the Monaco than you can get the Georgetown for.
