Hello everyone. Starting to look at DP`s. Looking for opinions on floor plans and door locations.
I`m noticing that some have a mid coach entry door, never realized they did that on DP`s. I like the door up front because it seems to keep the mid side of the coach open for more floor space or seating.
I know we will want a bath and a half and at least 3 slides.
FWIW, we are looking at between 2013 and 2015 around $100-$140k. I have no problem waiting for the perfect one so I can look for a while, we wont be buying for at least a year or so. just doing some pre purchase research.
Thanks everyone!
I have to agree with others, on your year/budget being entry or mid level at best.
Always repeating myself on here, but for cutting through the chase, just choose a side radiator chassis of your choices and drop back in the years until one, fits your budget. This way, everything else having to do with quality, just falls into place and since we're talking DP's here.
As for the entry door, the up front is most popular, with not many mid entries around and there are reasons for that, which includes a better passenger side, slide room area.
Speaking of the entry door, that's where most shoppers head for first and whereas the discriminating buyer, first looks in the rear. Can't see the engine for the radiator covering it up, then keep walking!
