It makes me wonder if people ever thought critically and look past the glitz. Hear on thus forum get the floorplan you like in a new unit and all new units have issues. The OP could have bought a used high line coach that works well for that money or less. They are well built and will last. I. Know my Foretravel is now less then what he paid and works and runs great. It has more and bigger everything but the full wall slide. There are used CC and upper end Monacos out there too that are better built. I learned a long time ago now to look past the surface and see how things are constructed. If you think a well constructed diesel coach new can be built in the hundreds with the drive train taking up most of it then you gave a recipe for a poor experience. The RV manufactures say it is only used a couple times a year so the quality does not have to be there. I was at a Foretravel rally and a question was asked of the owner. Will you build an entry level coach and his response was the used FT are our entry level. We do not want to sacrifice quality. I am sorry that you have had an is due and the weeks and months that coaches sit to be fixed us why there are only a few brands I will even look at. I wonder if this will change people's views. I have started to hear stuff about big wait times and QC at tiffin. They always fixed stuff but they are mass produced and pushing hard. I have a friend with a phaeton and has slide issues two. Said next one he sells it too and he was back to Red Bay three times for it. QC is across almost all brands it especially at the lower end of the line up.
