Country Coach went bankrupt in 2010 due to several factors. Quality of their coaches are among the best in the business. The early diesel pushers like our were built on a Gillig bus chassis (Gillig still makes buses). In the late 90's Gillig assisted Country Coach in building their own chassis, the Dynomax. Lots of information is available on the net on the features of Country Coaches. A couple of observations: top of the line Magnas and Affinitys featured "outie" tag axle wheels like Prevosts, American and Foretravel have "innie" tag axle wheels. Since 2005 Intrigues, Magans and Affinitys had 500 or 525 HP Caterpillar engines--same size as Prevosts, and starting 2007, most Magnas and Affinitys had 600 to 650hp engines--larger than any Prevost.
One of the original owners who left in 1995 purchased the intellectual property of Country Coach, and is working on getting production going again. They have operated a parts, service, and technical information center in the original factory for several years, and have the original fiberglass molds for Country Coaches. We had to have the passenger side front cap replaced last year due to a careless tow truck operator, and Country Coach made it as good as new. In addition to the factory, there are a number of ex-Country Coach employees who operate repair facilities in many parts of the country.
