Joatha,
Sorry, I mistakenly left out Wanderlodge. I totally agree with you. In many ways the similarities are there, there is a FANTASTIC support group for the Birds. I often visit your site for documentation. It is excellent.
I think the point that owners of older high end coaches are trying to make to you is that the bones are there. If you take care of them, and invest a little TLC from time to time, then the robustness of the construction will win out over time.
Foodsman, enjoy your search and research. If you decide on a Prevost, Wanderlodge, Newell, or Foretravel, and I am not discounting CC, AE, or Monaco, I highly recommend that you join their forums before you buy. Often, those groups are tight knit and have personal knowledge of the coaches out there. The owners can give you very specific things to look out for.
One last comment and I'll butt out. The mid door works for me. But I am normally traveling with two teen boys or guests. The mid door divides the coach into two compartments and I don't have to go through the "other" sleeping quarters to grab my coffee and enjoy the very early morning. My lovely bride likes to make her nest in the passenger seat. Not having a door there means she doesn't have to move it every time we exit the coach.
