I Thought The Economy Was Depressed

We had the same problem in 2006 - so we finally had to buy new to get what we wanted. However, in buying new we got more modern technology in our Class C than we would have in buying used. For instance, under the coach we got a higher horsepower V10 - that also didn't blow spark plugs - and a 5-6 speed computer controlled transmission.

We have a very similar story.

I agree with you regarding chassis & drive train improvements. A motor home built on a 2009 or newer Ford E350 or E450 assures the latest improvements....though I still question the "improved" styling. :)

A 2008 chassis was a transition year getting current day with exception to the interior design.
