companies that have gone out of business problems
Were still looking for a Class A that suits our family and found a coach 08 Navigator that seems awesome but we were wondering if anyone had trouble finding parts since they no longer make them.

Although for the most part everything is available some items may have been discontinued When Navistar bought the remnants of Monaco those idiots dumped the body molds in the trash. They scrapped a lot of the legacy parts as well Odball items like dash components are often not available. We have an 08 Dynasty and so far have been able to get anything we needed Monaco products used an Alladin system for unit information display. Alladin is out of business. Often you can find a company to substitute or rebuild your item.

This company in Eugene, OR purchased a lot/all of the Monaco parts. I have been in the store looking for other things and noted all of the Monaco parts. Monaco parts I verbally confirmed with them that they got them at the time of the transfer/closure.
As to my 40 year old coach, I have the fourth from the last one produced. To this point, I have been able find every part that I have needed or a modern substitute. Many parts were used on enough vehicles that they are still being made today. I just rebuilt the front end of my coach with new ball joints, tie rod ends, and pitman arm bushings. All available at local parts store and/or online. Coach drives and tracks like brand new! All hydraulic brakes parts are also available including the boosters.
I would also encourage any coach owner to join and support any user group that is available for your brand of coach. Many heads make for easy solving of problems. Just like this general interest site does.
