In about two months our house will be sold and it will be time to make a decision...

We plan to full time in this coach and looking at units in the 38-40 foot range with a large fridge and preferably king bed, washer/dryer.

Most I see online are 2005-2008 models with less than 40K miles.

Given a choice what models should I be looking at in this range?

Thanks in advance!

With ten years of ownership I have a pretty good idea how good the Monaco Dynasty are plus I plan on using it for another 10-15 years. I keep up with the price of Dynasty and this one looks like a pretty good deal. Cannot tell if the front TV has been changed to digital, the back one has not but not that expensive any more to change.
A 42' tag axle coach has a better turning radius than a 39-40 non tag. Once you have a tag axle coach you will not go back to a non tag because of the better handling. For FT you need plenty of CCC and unlike the 9,000+ lbs I have many non tag have less than 2,000.
Having owned a 98 Beaver the one above is a nice coach but I would not want it for FT even though it probably has 3,500 lbs of CCC. The slide only goes out 16" which is better than none but on a rainy day it's nice to have plenty of room.
*In the pictures for the Marquis below you can see how little the slide goes out compared to just 2-3 years newer. Beaver's have the nicest woodwork of any MH that cost less than a million new.
This post is my opinion (free advice). It is not intended to influence anyone's judgment nor do I advocate anyone do what I propose.
Sold 04 Dynasty to our son after 14 great years.
Upgraded with a 08 HR Navigator 45’...

At 100k there are some beautiful coaches on the market. I'd be looking for a Beaver Contessa, Newmar Dutch Star or Mountain Aire.
