I have been looking at a 2002 Holiday Rambler Vacationer and a 2001 Admiral. Both are the same floor plan with a bath and a half. Which is the more expensive model, the Admiral or Vacationer? Is...

We have a 99 Vacationer, so been looking at newer models on the net. What I noticed, it looks like about the only difference in the two models are the nose cap & rear cap, with floor plan the same on both & ony small differences like light fixtures, handles & such.
The Vacationer would be the cheaper coach, but very little difference in price.
If you do get a H/R in that year, you'll be getting the 310 HP engine, over the earlier 275 HP, welded aluminum tubing coach body frame work, painted aluminum outside walls & roof material, so all you'll need is to check the joint sealing tape on the roof every year & a cleaning once in a while, so the roof is just about trouble free. Styrfoam type insulation in the walls & roof & roof is about 4" thick, so when it rains, you have to listen good to hear it beating n the roof.
Other than that, you'll have the normal things to check, just like owning any other class A coach.
We have enjoyed ours, done nothing to the engine, trans or rear axle, other than service it in the 45,000 miles we've drove it.
Now on the F53 chassis, I did do the Cheap Handling Fix to the front & rear sway bars, added a rear trac bar to the rear axle, which made handling a whole lot better & turned it into one hand driving, even when trucks passing on the interstate.
Lot of plus about the Holiday Rambler type coaches.
