Monaco Knight - Opinions??

2006 Monaco Knight

A friend's RV up for sale. As I look around at various offers in my quest to upgrade to a DP, it appears to be a great RV. Any opinions on this one?

  • Knowing the coach, and how it was cared for is a big deal. when we bought we were looking at 2 Monaco's, very well built coaches. Price is about average.
    If the floor plan is to your liking buy it.

    I thought the same thing! Looks like a case of serious delamination.

  • Going on memory here so I may not be spot on but wasn't one of the reasons they went out of business is because they used an independent chassis and engines that were not smog compliant? I think the mainstream chassis and engine manufacturers went with the DEF approach and Monaco went with their own design? Maybe I am thinking of something else. I know Navistar bought them to salvage them from bankruptcy.

    That said, I think they built a very nice coach and this one seems to be very clean and well maintained.
  • I have had a couple of Monacos here in NC. A 45ft Dynasty and I now have a 36ft Windsor----the basics are fine its all about what it is equipped with. In my case down sizing is taking some getting used to. The one you show is pretty nice it looks like. I never did use the washer when I had one and those 2 couches to me were a waste of space and basement storage was hard to access when the slides are out. Check dash a/c and heat. But it looks like a nice roomy DP
