Trap.....You're absolutely right, there will always be some that like the look of something that most others hate.
Just awhile ago I got this email from Monaco RV that surprised me. It was several articles about Monaco and ASV's plans of keeping the coach alive. They also showed some public sampling they've been doing with the look of the new Dynasty. Read the last part in red, apparently I'm not the only one that thinks the new caps are ugly.
"Monaco Coach owners were recently surveyed about the new styling for the 2014 Dynasty. We found that our owners were eager to participate! Of 1,132 owners surveyed, 78 percent were members of an owners club and 36 percent indicated they owned a 2007 or older Dynasty or Diplomat.
This brief summary of our survey results provided us with interesting insight into what our customers and owners appreciate and value most in Monaco RV products:
For high-end RVs, the terms “quality,” “luxury” and “expensive” ($350,000 – $450,000) came to mind, with the brands Monaco, Prevost and Newell being the three most mentioned. Our Dynasty, Executive, and Signature models were the top three considered “high end.”
The most important features were floor plan layout, chassis, and engine brand, and owners indicated these features are what differentiate high-end RVs. The Cushion Air Glide suspension was the most popular feature, and the Roadmaster chassis was indicated as providing the most luxurious and reliable ride.
Owners prefer more traditional interior décor that is comfortable and durable, along with high-quality appliances that are the appropriate size and color for the model.
“Paint and graphics” were noted as the primary Monaco Coach identifier, and owners said five-color paint quality and graphics should always be “distinguishing” on any high-end RV.
The new front cap received the lowest styling rating and the side graphics received the highest marks. Many owners want to see Monaco RV go back to the more traditional front cap and felt the company might be getting a too aggressive with their styling."
