Bought the wrong motorhome!!!
I know you have been following my quest for a MH. Been searching, and learning from the experts since January. Found a nice 1997, 38 Monaco Dynasty and got carried away by its beauty, condition, equip...

Agree, the mechanical 8.3 with the Allison tx best combination in the business. Not real happy with the roadmaster chassis since they are out of business and I had a heck of a time finding air bag replacements. But the rest of the drive train out weighs that disadvantage. Isn't the dynasty the only one built with iron/steel frame? Believe the others may use aluminium since I know they are lighter so not sure how it windson would have handled the roll.
It is our plan to pull one of the sofas and put in a booth dinette if there isn't already a booth dinette in the coach. But the 40 foot over all length make it apparent it wasn't the best fit for us. I may have to readjust search and move up to 35 feet or even 36 feet but for now looking for a 34 footer.
As far as gas versus diesel generators I figure the additional cost and size for the diesel generator probably prompted the builder to go with a gas gen.
Thanks for the comments. Anyone driving a mh that comes close to meeting my criteria, let me know so I can search for that brand and model. So far know Monaco Dynasty, but have got to be some others out there. Thanks
Look at Country Coach. They built the strongest chassis in the industry (IMO). We have the 2003 36' Allure since 2004 and wouldn't want any other coach. They did go out of business a few years ago, but are back up and running for repairs only right now with plans to start manufacturing soon. They are in Oregon and have consignments onsite. They built 32s, 34s and 36'(etc) MHs.
