HOM - Country Coach Corporation is in business. We were just there two months ago. We stop there at least once a year to get service. They do a great job. I bought our rig five years ago because I looked at the quality of the used coaches from companies such as American and Newmar and I thought Country Coach was better and drove better. I am no expert RV quality rater. But the RVCG (RV consumer group) is. They rate thousands of RVs. At the time I was looking they picked Fourtravel and Country Coach as the two top coaches that were in regular production. After test driving many coaches I agreed with their assessment.
One very significant advantage of Country Coach motorhomes over any Newmar or American Coach is that Country Coaches has a chassis specifically designed for the motor home you are buying. And it is a semi-monocoque design which is far more rigid, safer, and solid than any motor home where you build a house on top of frame rails. The CC chassis is welded steel tubes that wrap around you. Newmar and American build a house and bolt it to the chassis. Foretravel also uses a semi-moncoque design. Monaco uses semi-monocoque in their high end coaches.
With regard to the comments on CAT motors. We have a CAT motor. CAT is twice the size company as Cummins (I own stock in both) and there are many more CAT dealers than Cummins. There are arguments back and forth as to which of these motors is best. My opinion is that they are both excellent. So is Detroit diesel.
Here is the thing though. Country Coach, Newmar, and American Coach are all winners. You will not be unhappy with any of them. Just go out and look at and drive a bunch of coaches and buy the one you like the best.
