I never thought looking for another Moho would be so hard. Most everything I find has a split/walk through bath that just does not work for me. The two that I'm drawn to is the Monaco Diplomat 40SKQ and a the Fleetwood Providence 40X. I like not having a tv above the driving area. I know from reading the side radiator is better but is the rear radiator a deal breaker? I have only seriously started looking for a few weeks now. I thought about a new 35B Excursion but think I'm better off getting a used higher up the food chain DP for the same $$$ or less. I went out and took a new 2013 Bounder 35K out for about a hour test ride and could not stand the engine noise and how it shifted in the lower gears. This was on a Ford Power Platform chassis with a V10.

Mike, quit fooling around open up that wallet and do you know how to say Prevost! It's fun spending someone else's money on RV.Net! Your patience will pay off! What I would fear is pulling the trigger to soon and your coach comes up after you already bought one! Hang in there I really think your taking the right approach and, being toward the end of summer is a good time to buy IMHO! Good Luck!

I can't speak about the bathroom configuration because that is all about personal preference. However, I don't see the rear rad. as a deal breaker provided the coach is designed with good and easy access to the engine. I have two bedroom slides and with the slides out all I need to do is open the floor hatches and there is nothing on the engine that is difficult to reach. The bed moves out of the way so no disassemble of the bed or any bedroom furniture is required. I do all my own maintenance so this opinion is based on hands-on experience. Good luck with your search.Lou05 Travel Supreme Envoy

I know on the fourm everyone says floorplan,floorplan,floorplan. But after driving around in my P30 bread truck for 11 years for me its all about the ride. I most likely wont put on to many miles since we are working full time and still like to take vacations to the islands.
