First time motor home buyer. What is the story about Monaco and Holiday rambler? Were they a split? As I look at units it is confusing which units are which. Which is the better unit and the most valuable? I want to buy used and spend around $100K. I think my choice will be Monaco over the Newmar, I presently pull a Newmar 5th wheel. I am very tight with my dollar and do not wish to make a mistake. Thanks for your replies.
What is a "split"?? What years are you referring to? Gassers or Diesels? What models?
FWIW, prior to 2009, Monaco corporation made not only the Monaco lineup but also Holiday Rambler, Beaver, and Safari. Among those four, you could find almost duplicate models. Hard to tell which was which....and probably were all pretty equal in quality and price. The company used Cummins, CAT, and Detroit engines and you could order a coach (again, across the four brands) to your personal taste.
Need more info from you to be able to answer your specific questions.
