How's it going everyone! Been a while since I posted, but circumstances have put us back into the saddle again, and we are looking to buy.
I have been shopping Chassis and engine first, ride and ameneties second.
My wife and I have been looking at the above Motorhome's. (coaches)
So I'm wondering what you guys would tell me.
Should I go Foretravel or Newell 1999-2004 for around $150
or Country Coach, maybe 2004-2008 around $130
Or into a Newmar midlevel around 2010 or later for about the same price as above?
I may have to stay around the $125 area, and hope that I can get someone to come down a bit.
Also, wanted to say howdy to, and in no particular order...:

That's a hard one and depends on the individual. For us and our budget, I wanted some real quality and also wanted to stay out of the recession years and the DEF era. We would have probably went for an older PREVOST, but could never find one with 1 1/2 baths and 3 slides in the same price range (same problem with the rest of the high end units), so went with the REVOLUTION and do think we got the best of all worlds, with our purchase.
Our criteria, included:
Min. 3 slides
Side radiator
Full body paint
Fiberglas roof
1 1/2 baths
Solid wood cabinetry and frame work
Top quality leather upholstery
