I was just wondering the other day what people were thinking of the new Monaco coaches. We talked to a LONG time Monaco salesman at great length (onsite for 12 days) and he had nothing nice to say about the new coaches, even though they still sell them. I actually heard him telling several customers to steer clear. You see TONS of the older ones on the road, but few of the new ones. I have only talked to three new owners (two Monaco and one Holiday Rambler) and all three were not impressed. I, personally, don't care for the Navistar front cap or rear cap design and wondered if they will be sticking it out or selling.
Most that I have been in contact with that have the new Monaco, are happy with them.
Our 2 month old new Diplomat has only had a couple of minor problems so far after living in it for two months.
We do have a bow in the bottom of one slide that we will get fixed in the fall.
As for the front and rear caps, maybe the best compliment we got was when parked beside a Phaeton, a couple of Newmars and a Beaver Contessa. Our guests said the others all looked the same, it was great to see something different.
From my experience so far I have nothing but good to say about the new Monaco's
That's great to hear! When we were finalizing our decision on manufacturer, Navistar had not started to make coaches yet so we steered away, as we wanted new. I do agree the front and backs do look different, but just not in a good way.....not to me anyway! I don't really think all of the others look the same per se, just a little more understated and blend in a bit. Different likes and dislikes is what makes America a great place! We all have the right to chose what makes us happy. Have been inside some beautiful Monaco coaches, but all before Navistar. Have only been inside one of the new ones, but not a floor plan or color scheme that would ever work for us.
Hope to see you down the road sometime. Travel safe.
