thanks everyone..... I'll take all the info I can get. I'm realistically years off from justifying a DP but am really enjoying learning. So far I really like the Monaco coaches. I like how many there are so I have a better chance of finding just what I'm looking for.
Other brands that catch my eye are Newell and Beaver. From my research and instinct I think I'm likely to go with an older coach of better quality at a given price point than something new/newer.
It's actually pretty exciting to see all the improvements of the last 10 years and how affordable (relatively, of course) a really nice coach is becoming. The 3 or 4 slides, aqua hot systems and high HP/torque engines are trickling down to a price point that couldn't be dreamed of 5-10 years ago it seems.
Thanks again.
