Full Time

Coach manufacturer: Newmar
Pre-2007: An excellent choice - all the kinks have been worked out
Full-timing: Also an excellent choice

Look on the PPL consignment web site to get an idea of what's out there, prices and floor plans on every model they have on the lot. It'll give you a place to start.

You might want to ask more full-timing questions over on the full-timing forum.

Have fun planning!

Thinking about going full time and looking for valued opinions. I would prefer a diesel manufactured before all the new emissions were required...2007? And a coach manufacturer that stands behind their product.

The addition of requiring DEF started with diesel engines manufactured in 2010.
IMO- One of the best things about the 2007 and newer engines is the much reduced diesel fuel smell compared to earlier versions. Cummins and Frieghtliner both say there is also improved fuel mileage.

You need a positive response??? never worried about a warranty. It breaks you got to fix it and use all that money you saved by not buying a new one with a warranty. You can buy a lot of high end used units before DEF and computerized Cummins for $50,000 + or - and if you can pay for it never have a $1500 a month payment for 20 years. Can you imagine having a 1994 model and paying payments on it since new??? There is an American Tradition for sale around here right now for $29,500 that looks pretty nice------

Why? A pre emission MH will have no warranty.
Have you ever owned or traveled in an RV before?
How do you intend to use this purchase? Sitting for months at a time, or going down the road weekly.
Finances? Do you have enough cash for routine care and maintenance?
Alone or with another person? How do they feel about the idea?
Thats just the start of the questions you need to answer.
