What I have concluded from this thread that in the last 8 years the major changes were full wall slides, one piece windshields, full body paint, and some improvement in electronics. No real improvement in chassis or performance or over all quality. So from a cost benefit standpoint a 2006 to 2011 seems to be the best value.
Mr. Gjac, I have to agree with your statement. When I look in new coaches, which I did while on a recent trip to Michigan, there were two new 2013 or 2014 Newmar coaches on display... a King-Air and an Essex.... $900,000 and about $700,000. They really didn't have anything much different than we have... flat screen TV's, we have tile floors, their's were marble, we have corian, they had granite but really nothing much differnt. Well, they had bigger motors, hence the price. Oh, and they were running 315's on the King-Air, we have 295's. But all and all, the amenities were not much different.
Personally, I like having a slide out tray, we have two large storage bins one with a tray one without. I keep my bike on the sliding tray which makes it easy to load and unload. The 6 folding patio chairs and small table are under the bike (and a few other items). Really, you can't beat pass-through storage as I can take the bike out from either side. The tray will go both ways.
