Chainwright, you just have to get out there and look. Don't let the little things get in the way, you can change the leather to cloth or add an outdoor kitchen in the one of the bays.
What you DO WANT, is a coach that has been maintained and has the records to go along with it. Any decorative item can be replaced to your liking. As you start looking, the important items will float to the top of the list. Every coach is a compromise!
If you want a gas unit, Newmar and Tiffin have nice looking cabinets and interiors.
We had our coach built and chose the interior to be 'quiet' and den-looking. We have baseball glove color leather, hardwood floors and darker type cabinets. It feels like home.
The chassis, motor and roof are the first three important items, then go down from there. Forty feet and under will put you in the gas or diesel arena.
You are going to either find a Cummins or CAT diesel or a Ford V-10 and maybe the GM Vortec depending on how far you go back.
Maintenance is KING!
Good luck,
MM.
