Problem Finding Next Coach

We are looking to upgrade our 05 Mandalay. This was our first and only coach.We have owned for two years.

We thought it would be Newmar Air model. The problem is with slides in the have 15 inches of room. We travel with 5-11 people and its not enough room.

We did an RV show and it looks like all the large coach's are made for two people.

This is our must have list
Bath and half
42-45 feet
King bed
500 plus HP
side radiator
Girard awning

It will NOT be a fleetwood

Thanks for any help
Class A

    You might consider a toy hauler. Use the extra space for sleeping room, not toys.

    Most of the later model coaches will meet all your requirements but that many people will always be a challenge for any trip longer that a few days...but you already know that.

    Tiffin makes a 45' that meets all your criteria except the Girard awnings and they might put those on if you order it that way.
    Entegra also makes one with 600hp engine and has Girard awnings.

    Most Class A units I have seen are designed primarily for 2 people.
    Have you contacted a dealer/manufacturer about modifying the floor plan?
    Custom built may be your only option for 5-11 people.
