We had a 97 Intruder, liked the motorhome and had had very few problems with it, when we went full time in 2005. Even though we had family in Elkhart County Indiana, Damon wasn't on our short list. We chose Newmar or Tiffin, and didn't include Damon because of the lack much of a factory support center. The Damon servive center at the time had 3 usable service bays and a 9+ month wait for even "catastrophic" failures. The Damon service center staff was very helpful on info and parts, but looked to be overwhelmed. Now that Damon no longer exists and the product line is part of THOR, an orphan older Damon motorhome would interest us even less. Winnebago has been around a long time like Tiffin and Newmar, if their plant had been located along our normal annual travel routes, we would have considered Winnebago also.
