Foretravel
Country Coach
Newell
Entegra
Prevost conversion
X's 2 - With a couple of thoughts:
-Newell & Prevost conversions will be real old in this price point range.
To the OP, a few opinions from Smitty, and you can follow or ignore as you see fit:)!
- You stress quality, and I always feel that coaches of high quality are the way to go. IMO, quality lasts and gives satisfaction of ownership. And quality helps on resale values.
- At your price point, don't be afraid to drop years to remain in budget while buying the highest quality coach you can find. Again IMO, for resale, a higher quality coach that is 3-5 years older then a middle of the road quality coach - will have higher demand and retain more value at time of a future sale.
Add to the above list:
-Travel Supreme (Entegra/Jayco bought the rights to Travel Supreme)
-Monaco's higher up the food chain, say Dynasty/Executive (or the equivalent in family Beaver or Holiday Rambler)
-For resale if going to 40', also consider Tag's. And if you're at 40, expanding your search to look for 40-42' coaches, will not hurt you in most parks.
-The higher up the food chain coaches, usually also come with Aqua/Hydro hot units.
-Though you may not need it for your Florida travels. I suggest buying the biggest block engine you can find in the coach you like. (ISM over ISL, or C13+ over C7 or C9. This too will help when you go to move the coach.)
And as you probably know, buy interior living space a the number one priority over name on coach, or anything mechanical... If you can't enjoy the inside, why have a coach:)!
Best of luck on your search,
Smitty
