I felt that over the years, I did my research and bought the best bang for the buck DP. My first pick was back in 2005 when we bought a new Monaco Diplomat. That was a great, well built coach, with a large motor and lots of amenities. Unfortunately, when we went to replace it in 2014, they were out of business.
We started our search and found that Tiffin and Newmar were now the two coaches that gave the best quality and bang for the buck. If at that time, Tiffin had offered a 40' DP with a tag, I would be Alegro Bus Don, not Dutch Star Don. After owning the Dutch Star for 4.5 years, I still feel Tiffin and Newmar are still the best deal. I've ordered a new 2019 and it's a Dutch Star. This time, there was a definite advantage of the Newmar over the Tiffin. The advantage was Comfort Steer and the ability to customize a Dutch Star during purchase. You can change anything from the paint, furniture, cabinetry, wiring, flooring and upholstery.
