first class a

Wife and i are in the begining stages of looking for our first class A. just looking for some opinions on brands to stay away from, and some good ones. Looking in the 120,000 range. also some things that it must have. one thing i was told is 22.5 inch tires. so far weve looked at the georgetown, and a winnebago

  • For your stated price range of $120,000 you can purchase a high quality motorhome which is around 3-5 years old. Some good manufacturers to consider are Newmar (our favorite):), Monaco and Country Coach or Beaver.

    Just to give you a general idea of prices, models and floorplans, take a look at these sites:

    If you post on how you plan to use the motorhome you will get more specific answers. Are you planning to use the motorhome to live in it full-time? Will you use it just for weekends and a few extended trips throughout the year? Do you plan on staying close to home and camping? How much money do you want to spend on the motorhome? If you can answer these questions for yourselves you will get much more relevant answers which will help you decide.
  • The Monaco line includes Beaver, Monaco coaches, Holiday Rambler and Safari.

    Good luck,

  • I would stay away from the Georgetown . . . JUNK. Winnebago is great. We have had 4 of them. You can get a nice Adventurer in gas new within your budget. You could also get a nice diesel pusher used for your budget price. Stick with winnebago, newmar. There are some other good ones but I can't think of them right now.
