You're only a hour from DiMartini in Grass Valley. Spend some time hanging out there since they usually have a healthy selection of new and used DPs. We bought our last two there (wouldn't use their service department). It can give you a feel for floor plans but also a chance to test drive a variety of coaches. If there is a tag axle unit that you like, I'm sure taking it for a hour drive to your home to test the driveway wouldn't be a problem. Biggest problem we made was buying a unit that was smaller than we liked, traded up a couple of years later.
