Are there 2 different Monaco's?

That is truly excellent information and allows me to shorten my search. My thanks to you all for that great stuff.

I’m looking for a 45’ and now know that I can add a Monaco coach from 2005 to 2009. Do you happen to know the top model of the Monaco line on down?

I’m impressed that these units were built on the Prevost and/or Roadmaster chassis!

I've been told that the Country Coach is a good choice and you'll save some money because they are out of business. Is this also true of the Monaco's I'm talking about?

Monacos top model was the Signature, then Executive, Dynasty on down.
The originals (2009 and earlier) were built on the Roadmaster chassis and were well-built coaches--we stopped by the factory a couple of times while they were still in production. Interesting note: in the early 90's they did not use fiberglass for coach outside walls--they used a composite from Germany--perhaps similar to Vitricor? The 8x40 sheets were laminated to the sidewalls. Not sure when they went to fiberglass sidewalls.
Nobody builds on a Prevost chassis except Prevost. They come fully assembled--like a bus, and coach companies install the RV components like appliances, furniture, electronics, water tanks etc.
Both Monaco and Country Coach as well as many others made such Prevost conversions--some are still in business.
