We have the same coach in the Diplomat.
1. Good ISL 400 engine and Allison 3000 transmission combo.
2. Norcold 1200LRIM -- replace with Amish CU or residential.
3. Rides fine. May want to consider Koni FSD shocks.
4. Replaced the front TV with a 32" flat screen. I made the cherry frame to match. Installed the Travler HD dish with DirecTV.
5. Installed 200W solar on roof.
6. Just replaced water heater.
7. Replaced water pump and now carry a spare.
8. Will need to have roof caps repainted -- cracking is common for this model after 8 years.
9. Check DOT tire dates. You may still have the original Goodyears. I updated with the FMCA Michelin tires at 7 years.
10. Replaced slide toppers with Tuff Top.
11. Added Pressure Pro TPMS and Vmspc.
12. One of the better coaches for that year IMHO.
