Sure glad we made our last RV purchase in 2002. Have not found anything that makes me want to downgrade to a newer coach. Just returned from a 60 day 6,000 mile trip.Have a nice day.
We have not found anything we would want to downgrade to either. If we're going to go new, we might as well upgrade. I wonder how ASV will differentiate Monaco Dynasty from American Coach Heritage.
IMHO, Motorhomes, like cars, are better today as a result of technology and materials than they were 20 years ago. Almost infinitely. Whether or not they are *put together* with the same concern for quality and care is another question. But if you ask Bob Tiffin or some other CEO's and long-term builders in the industry which is the better machine: a quality-built coach in 1996 or a quality-built coach in 2014, I know what answer you're going to get in 90% of the cases. None of them would want to go back in a time machine except for the nostalgia. The test for the new Dynasty will be how much commitment they put into after-the-sale service and how fast (or slow) they spit them off the line. The fact that they're taking 9 months on order suggests roughly the same approach as Entegra, which isn't a bad thing. That they sent the survey out to owners, and took anything that was mentioned in 70% of the cases and incorporated it, is also a good thing. But, we'll have to wait and see...
