We owned a 2003 Sportscoach 376DS Limited Edition that was purchased new in 2003. We kept that motorhome for over 10 years. Other than normal maintenance and needing the turbo charger replaced at 66,000 it was an extremely reliable motorhome. The 376DS is considered an 'entry level' DP. Nothing wrong with that. It's doesn't have as many automated features as higher end models. Which is good. The simpler the more reliable.
The 2013 Coachmen Sportscoach Pathfinder Elite 40 rides on a Freightliner chassis. Freightliner has about 80% of the DP market. If service is needed it's easy to find a Freightliner repair center. If you purchase this and liver near Gaffney SC. I suggest you take it there for the yearly service. Prices are very reasonable and we have never had a problem with service there in the last 13 years.
We only got rid of our 376DS because we wanted more living space/basement storage/slides for our retirement. We didn't go with Coachmen again because none of their floor plans worked for us. I highly recommend Coachmen motorhomes. You do get a lot of bang for the buck.
