American Eagle, Country Coach, Newmar
Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice. We currently have a 1998 Winnebago Adventurer 32ft with no slides and are a family of 3 living in it. We've just recently completed a 2 month adventure acros...

Yep :) We bought a 1999 42' U320. we took delivery on New Years Eve. It was a hectic experience because it wasn't the best dealer and I don't think they were planning on fixing all of the issues that we identified. But they did and we ended up paying much closer to asking then I'd like. But it is a beautiful coach with crazy awesome features and has a brand new full body paint done in 2010 by the Foretravel factory. It looks like a million bucks.
The first owner was dilligent in maintenance and spent a lot of money chasing things down.
The second owner, the one I bought from was not proactive but was willing to throw a ton of money at the coach reactively which sufficed. All in all the coach was unmaintained from 2011-2013 but everything seems to have survived.
The way it drives is amazing. It's like a night and day difference between the bagel (our old winnebago) and this thing. Silence, smooth ride, and corners very well. It's a cummins ISM 450HP. Most hills it doesn't even want to shift out of 6th gear. It definitely hits all my bullet points.
Only real issue I found so far is that on these 42' models (of which there are very few in the 90's) the front a/c sits beside the fridge. The exhaust fan causes a back draft into the fridge vent (up on the roof) which causes the fridge to stop working right. I put two oil cans in the way and viola fridge started working right again, so I'll have to install some kind of baffle.
