Which one ? Tiffin, Newmar, Prevost, Monaco?

I haven't been around in awhile. It's been about 6 years since I sold our National Dolphin Gas 31' with no slides.

I have around $150 to spend and I am hoping to buy a used DP. I have heard nothing but good from Newmar, there in Indianna.

Any things I should want?

Probably looking around 40' Just doing part time until the Wife retires....

  • If your interested in a gas unit $150K will get you a brand new Tiffin with money to spare..
  • Our 15 year old Newmar Mountain Aire has survived our abuse, we have made every stupid mistake and it still gets us home :) There has not been any problems we didn't cause. parts and trouble shooting are a phone call away at Newmar.

  • $150K will get you into a nice used high end coach. We paid a bit more than that for our Country Coach in 2013 but we do love it. The build quality is excellent, solid chassis, quality components, etc.

    Your first job is to figure out what you want/need in terms of floor plan, overall length, etc. Whatever coach brand you consider, look for evidence that it has been maintained properly.... insist on seeing the maintenance records. If you do your own maintenance, a side radiator coach will make that easier and most of the higher end coaches (Country Coach, Foretravel, Monaco and Newmar higher line coaches, Travel Supreme, Tiffin Allegro Bus and Zephyr, American Coach) use side radiator configurations.

    There are many forums for owners of DP's. Foretravel has one as does Country Coach. You could ask some questions on their forums too. We love our 2004 Country Coach Allure.


    I'll look into Country Coach. What is the best thing about yours?
