I have one and it has been really enjoyable. The Zephyr has a quality chassis--something that the "four slide" crowd isn't valuing. Great, powerful motor. Very good fuel economy. High volume side radiator. Independent front suspension. Great transmission. The main room slide is huge.
You will have some expensive maintenance. I had the radiator re-cored three years ago and I replaced all the hoses, etc. at the same time.

Giant hassle to fix after it breaks. Country Coaches were infamous for this problem.
I would like to think that my coach is worth $120k but I don't think that is practical. The Zephyr in Georgia is more realistic.
Good luck.
