So... 2 used coaches... Same low miles, meticulously maintained with all records, good tires, fiberglass roof. Virtually same floor plan. Both have IFS, Spartan chassis, side cooled radiators, king ...

Initial thought is same brand, same price, same age, the 42 should be a better coach so if it's the same price what is wrong with it? Some people say they have a favorite between Dutch Star and Allegro, in which case that does it. Does DW prefer one over the other?
Generally, Allegros are cheaper than Dutch Star, so why is this one even with the DS?
Personally, I'd see what the price would buy in a Foretravel, Beaver, or high end Monaco.
Hi. Thank you all for your replies. Actually, I am the DW.
I am in love with the Allegro Bus, most of all because of the kitchen space, and the simple elegance.
We actually changed a little bit in the last couple of days. Now, it is between an 08 Allegro Bus 42, with a tag, an 08 40' Allegro Bus, no tag, and an 06 Moutain Aire... 43' with a tag, of course. There is also an 05 American Eagle that caught our eye.
We lookied at Monaco's, but none of them has IFS. Country Coaches are nice too, but the ones we looked at, same thing... No IFS.
The problem we are having now is the Hydronic Heat system. We simply do not want it.
I understand, most people, once they have it, absolutely love it, and wouldn't be without it.
To us, a DP already has enough maintenance concerns, without adding the hydronic system to it. It just seems it is taking a simple thing, and making it very complex.
There is a price difference between the coaches we are looking at, but not enough to be a huge difference.
Thank you all again for your replies and informative input.
Edit... Mr Brown. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Wow... All your posts came up while I was typing this. DH has said from the beginning, he wants the Newmar for the reason you posted, as well as many others.
We are definitely not in a hurry, as this next coach will probably be our forever home. Since we are not in Florida or Texas at the present time, we are very limited on the DP supply.
We haven't found the right coach yet, and are in the exploratory stage, but your posts give us other options to look at. Thank you all again. Look forward to even more information from everyone.
