Hey everyone :) Me and my girlfriend have spent the last 2 1/2 years together (we both work from home) and have decided to dive into full time RVing. After initially looking at travel trailers, 5th...

04-06 Dynasty or Executive in the $100K range or less... some of the best years from Monaco and for Diesel engines.
Home refrigerators only requires 100W when running which is less than half the time so two batteries and maybe 100W of solar is all that's needed for a home refer.
I love the Monaco RR10S chassis as 750-850 mile days are easy... YES even multiple ones. It gives you plenty of CCC (9000+) which for FTime comes in handy. DO NOT worry about finding a place to park a 40+' coach contrary to the naysayers... most of which DO NOT own a big rig and have NO idea where I can get it.
Must haves for FT: AquaHot, tag axle, home refer, Girrard awning, four slides, big tanks, LED lights and TVs.
I do not see the need for a bath and half floorplan which is about all you will find in newer 40+' DPs. They also have gotten very heavy... many with 365 tires on the front and even on the tag axle.
*PS: buy more MH than you think you need... ONE TIME. I learned that the expensive way.
Thanks!! I had a few questions...
What is CCC (9000+)?
What are FTimes
The Girrard awning, can that be added after purchase - or is it an expensive "get around to it" item.
We plan to bring up to 2 additional passengers semi-long-term (30days at a time) which is why bath and a half appealed.
Is there a resource we can use to figure out if the chassis is overloaded from the get-go?
Again, thanks :)
