1994 Monaco Dynasty 36

I have the same exact coach. Mine was well cared for (always garaged) and is solid. The newer coaches all have improvements that work against you like electronic diesels that are more complicated and more expensive to repair. Slides that add weight, complexity, and leak. On and on. Make sure it was regularly serviced and have someone do an inspection.

I had the same thoughts, that fewer "things" mean less to go wrong. I will have it inspected by an expert, as this is definitely NOT my field of expertise! It's amazing that a 20 year old coach can still be in such great shape, but that all goes to how it's been cared for. The current owner has had it for 10 years and always kept it inside when not in use.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I have a 1993 HR Navigator, which compares with this Monaco. I've had it for 10 years and would definitely buy it again. It is well made and performs like new.

As DonBaja pointed out, the newer rigs have electronic controls on the engines for emission control purposes, so they get less miles per gallon. Newer rigs also have slides, and while they are very nice while parked and give you so much more room, they also can leak and the rigs are harder to heat/cool.

Good luck. (And, no, I don't know who the present owner is even though he/she also probably lives in Washington.)
