Advice and experience with older DP Class A's

Remember too, mileage on a DP is irrelevant and may be a deterrent. Low mileage means the coach hasn't been driven. Diesels are meant to be driven and thrive on being run. Most recommend driving at least 45 minutes every month. I realize these are recommendations. thanks. Anyway, IMO, the condition of the coach should be looked at closely. If the coach was lived in 24/7, parked somewhere, it will have low miles but could be compromised. Parking near either ocean is a negative due to salt air. Same with a coach that is parked in say, New York year round. Snow/ice/salt are not friends to any coach. Look first at the interior lay out. Will either/both work for you. Then look closely at the condition of the interior. Does it look used/worn etc. Was the coach lived in or simply parked in a storage lot most of it's life? What about maintenance records. Most dealers throw away any information left with the coach. I traded my 96 Dynasty with every dime ever spent on it documented in a notebook with receipts etc. The dealer tossed it and the new owner had to rely on the "truth" of the salesman. The new owner found out too late I was not a little old lady from Pasadena as the salesman had told them. Either of the coaches you listed were quality coaches. I'm a bit partial to Monaco but the Eagle was a very close second. If they have a Cummins engine, all the service information is stored in their computers and can be pulled at any Cummins shop. I'd demand those before making a firm offer. Post what engine/tranny combo each have and we can offer suggestions on their reliability history. Some of the older coaches were underpowered. Finally, drive them both off and on the freeways. I think you'll enjoy the rides.....Dennis
