Coachmen Cross Country....am I crazy?

For some reason I am drawn to the 2006 coachmen Cross Country. Seems like a good price for a DP.

With them being sold, and the repair issues due to that, are they a bad investment? Don't hear much talk about them....not many out there either.

Thoughts?

    What does that mean?

    Every manufacturer sells the motorhomes. All motorhomes have repair issues. Every motorhome depreciates in value and is expensive to maintain. Therefore, every motorhome is a bad investment.
  • We had a 2011 for 3 years. It is a good buy for a diesel, just not well constructed. Poor insulation, poor roof construction.
  • Price was great for new 38-40 foot coaches when we were looking in 2003-2005. However since we were going full time and would be towing, we felt the "standard" 5.9L Cummins might be a bit underpowered. The engine boasted better fuel mileage than the larger displacement engines, but not strong going up grades or passing with a toad behind.
  • Have owned one since 2004 very happy with it. No real problems. Good value for the price.
