Just curious what some of your ceiling heights are in some of the older Class A Diesel pushers. At 6'5 or 77" tall I don't fit in a lot of coaches comfortably. We sold an 06 Damon Daybreak because I got tired of ducking around ceiling lights and walking slumped over all the time. We bought an 07 Georgetown that has a little higher ceilings. I know Alpha's have very tall ceilings but never have read anything good about them. Any other coaches with tall ceilings in the pre 03's? Reason I say 03 is because if we sell our Georgetown I'd want to be under the $40-50k range for an older diesel pusher.

You say the reviews on the Alfa products is not good but I know MANY Alfa owners who are very happy with their coaches and I am not sure you will find anything with more head room.
I am sure there are a lot of happy Alpha customers. But it seems like everyone you see for sell talks about delamination or electrical problems. Ther are nice inside though.
One of my biggest issues with the older coaches is the interiors. I don't know who designed the interiors for motor homes in the late 90's early 2000's but they were stuck in the 70's with there floral patterns and gold trims. You walk into a new coach nowadays and they have some serious wow factor. The old ones are just blah. Glad they got over the flower prints.
Not to hijack the thread but just what is it that delaminates? I'm also interested in an older model with high ceilings.
The exterior walls of the Alphas had delamination issues. Not all but a lot of them.

The bigger Monaco's in those years are 6' 7" (79"). The roof AC filters and the track for the sliding door in the hallway decrease it to 78" in those areas. At 6' 4" I do not duck or feel the need for something higher which Monaco did around 07 on the higher end units.
