What do you guys think about this one...?

Mechanically, 2 C channels with cross member forming a "ladder" will give you similar strength 2 D tubings run parallel.
D tubings are harder to connect, so there is more to it.
I take it as sale pitch no matter what.
Remember when minivans come on the market generation ago?
At the time sale pitch was "more safety with passenger door only on curb side"
So when minivans become so popular, few years later the new sale pitch was "passenger door on both sides".
CC was always having high recommendations and IMHO Oregon workers still have the drive to do good job.

We love our 2004 Allure. Quality built. Factory is back open for service but we are in FL and use other RV service locations with no problems. Please check out the Country Coach Yahoo Group for more questions and things to check before you buy. We have over 120,000 miles on our coach. Most issues we have had happen to other RV owners of other brands and are not exclusive to the CC Brand like refrigerators, AC's, Hydro Hot (Aqua Hot). Otherwise just routing maintenance. We did have some work recently on the radiator. Gaskets leaking at the side reservoirs. Might be unique to our smaller unit. (33')

We love our Allure. Solidly built, handsome inside and out, pleasure to drive and use.

The Dynomax chassis uses 8" boxed frame rails. Very strong, plus CC built a semi monocoque chassis which is similar to an over the road bus chassis. In fact, the first CC's were built on Gillig bus chassis and CC modeled their Dynomax chassis after those when Gillig stopped offering chassis for motorhomes.

If I were thinking of buying one of the consignment coaches at CC, I would seriously consider paying Kevin Waite (owns independent RV repair business in Junction City and is former CC builder/tech) to inspect it for me before making a final decision.

For what it's worth, we visited the 'factory' this spring and this prototype was out on the floor, along with a bunch of coaches in for repairs or modification. The place looked like it was being run professionally, but there was nothing like an assembly line, just a large shop floor. Presumably, that will come if/when they get the financing to start building them. Just a guess, but it's likely that when that happens they'll be building custom units only, at least for awhile.

Were we in the market for a new coach, we would have no qualms over dealing with them. Like Sully, we've had nothing but good experience with CC whenever we've contacted them for help with our 95 Intrigue. Also in their favor is a strong owner's community -- have a look at the CC forum on Yahoo (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Country-Coach-Owners/info).

Tubing can be in different shapes doesn't have to be round and in the case of CC, it is shaped like this http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/hrsteel2.phtml?page=rttube&LimAcc=%20&aident=. CC uses different sizes of tubing for the main rails depending on coach model. The DynoMax chassis is the best in the business.

There are plenty of CC techs out there so no real need to have to rely on the factory. Parts are readily available.

The coach you are looking at was probably built in '04 and with only 21K miles, it sure hasn't been driven much.

CC built a good coach. Never heard to many complaints from owners.

I have been doing some reading about their demise, and now trying to get back into the game. The coaches seem solid and well built. They said they don't use the "C" channel but round tubing instead?

There's not much info I found yet, but has anyone had any experience with the company?

And what do you think about the Chassis/drivetrain...?

I own one! A 2000 ...36 ft Allure.
I never saw any "round tubing" in my coach??? And Im impressed with the quality of construction and the people AT CC when I call for info on something or a part should I need one.
