Best "A". For under $350,000

Here are two coaches -- one Prevost and one Newell.

It would be interesting if our Prevost and Newell owners would comment on the characteristics of these coaches. They are typical of the $350,000 range if the OP decides to look at used high-end coaches.

P.S. I was in Costa Mesa in May, and thought about visiting California Coach. I did not because I am not yet ready to upgrade. But if I were in California and looking at Prevost or Newell, I would spend an afternoon there learning about these coaches. http://www.californiacoachcompany.com/

Mr. KHJPHOTO,

Don't even think of buying a Prevost without joining www.prevostcommunity.com.

You will learn everything 'Prevost' and what to lookout for and what to avoid.

An under-loved Prevost could cost you tens of thousands to make it roadworthy.

The site is free but you will have to be approved as they try their best to avoid 'trolls'. You will learn more than you ever thought possible.

Safe travels,
MM.

You'd save a LOT of money by buying used. Newmar, of course!

A used Prevost will be a dramatically better RV than any "late model, low mileage" fiberglass RV.

For $350K....you could buy a new Tiffin Allegro Bus, Newmar Dutch Star or Anthem Aspire (I think that's the appropriate Entegra level).

Although I totally agree with your advice to the PO. He did say late model with low mileage. That will rule out the some of the brands you recommended.

I obviously am of the school of better to buy older high end, than newer stuff. Far better value for your money. Pay 300, keep 50 for any repairs and upgrades and you will be miles ahead of paying 350 for a new unit.

I would add Country Coach Magna, Affinity or Intrigue to the list. Great, solidly built high end coaches but you won't find anything newer than 2009. Foretravel, high on the food chain Monaco's like the Executive, Signature and Dynasty.

Or, Newmar Essex, Entegra Cornerstone. Your budget would certainly get a gently used, late model in most of these brands/models.

Foretravel and Newell would also be ones for your list.
