05 vectra 40fd or 05 diplomat 38 pdq

Considering these units, has anyone had any experience with these units? drivability? repair history? chassis? etc.

I'm with Don and Crespro.
Our 08 Knight is the Dip's lil brother, identical except a 360hp ISL instead of the 400ho ISL. Great coach. The 8 bag roadmaster chassis is the best in the industry.

We looked at both when we purchased our 05. I think the Monaco is head and shoulders above the Vectra.

Hello,

Our Diplomat with 400 ISL has been reasonably good. Replaced the inverter and turbo under warranty. 44,000 miles with no other major maintenance.

Currently upgrading to HD Winegard, flat screen HD and new 200 watt solar.

Eight outboard air bags on chassis are very good for stability.

Best of luck,

Crespro
