Help with DP for Full Timing
Hi all, I'm researching my first Class A. I've never driven or ridden in one so I have a lot to learn. I have been a fifth wheel guy for many years and I'm full timing in a 36' 5th wheel since Octobe...

All the answers are good above (even Slemnah's opinions... LOL!).
I just wanted to point out that if you are looking for a tow vehicle and don't have one yet, a small SUV/truck, in my opinion, works best as they ride higher. I couldn't tell from your post if you own the Accord or if you looking at one.
Since most any coach can straddle a big rubber piece of tire in the road, a low riding car like an Accord may not be able to. I found that the ride height of the CR-V allows for it to go over road debris without getting hung up or damaging the toad.
And another opinion of mine is that Monaco/Holdiay Rambler/Beaver made the best coaches in their day. You just can't beat their beautiful real-wood cabinets and fit and finish. In your price range, you can find a nice selection in the 2006-2009 model years. We sold our beautiful 2008 Monaco Dynasty (42ft.), in excellent condition with new tires and batteries (AGM) for less than $200K (Nov. 2014).
If you want to push your limit and bump up to a Prevost chassis, Monaco and Country Coach built on the Prevost chassis (Monaco's are called Royale's). You would be looking in the late 1990's-2001, most are non-slide versions in your price range. But, they are built solid as they are 2M mile chassis's.
Good luck and safe travels,
MM.
