Any older Diesel Class A's with tall ceilings? 03 or older?

Just curious what some of your ceiling heights are in some of the older Class A Diesel pushers. At 6'5 or 77" tall I don't fit in a lot of coaches comfortably. We sold an 06 Damon Daybreak because I got tired of ducking around ceiling lights and walking slumped over all the time. We bought an 07 Georgetown that has a little higher ceilings. I know Alpha's have very tall ceilings but never have read anything good about them. Any other coaches with tall ceilings in the pre 03's? Reason I say 03 is because if we sell our Georgetown I'd want to be under the $40-50k range for an older diesel pusher.

Class A

We purchased a 2004 Newmar Northern Star just for that reason. They are very high inside. There were built to compete with the Alpha's. They were made in 2004 and 2005. The interior height is 89 inches. It is a very well made coach. All of the Northern Star's are 39 feet long diesel pushers. They come with either 2 or 3 slides - I have the 3 slide model. Google "Newmar Northern Star brochure" and you will find the one on the Newmar site.

Check into Alfa's and Alfa Gold's. Research well, as they had some years with some delaminations. Tallest inside coach that I found when looking. Alfa owners seem to like their coaches.
