Yes and did just email them, that the last one made like ours was in 09, which meets all their preferences. Might even get away from having the DEF tank. Main difference with ours, is the CAT C9 engine vs the Cummins.
We'll see what they have to say....

X2. Thank you though OP for being honest, it is a tall order. If you were willing to push the year down just a bit, you could really get a great brand used coach. What if it was in excellent shape / cared for.

If they can afford to carry two RVs they could consign their present coach. Better than trading.

I think you'll find the higher end coaches from each builder will have a side radiator. I would tell you're friend to narrow his search down to several builders and then use NADA to find the approximate year that will fit his budget. Then look at the brochures from the builders he's chosen to find what models they made that will interest him. All the builders have an on line archive of brochures dating back several years.

I just purchased my coach in February that met his checklist except mine is an '07 with table and chairs for dinette seating. I used the method above and patience to find mine.

They likely will get the best bang for the buck by selling their current coach themselves and buying from a private seller. That takes more work but they'll get a better deal and will get to know the seller and how he has taken care of their soon to be coach.

Interesting in that I did what you did and have a similar coach. We knew what we wanted, if we were to get another and found one immediately after the the decision was made. I for one, would rather stay in that vintage, which was right before the gov. increased emission control standards and we had a downturn in the economy.
However, it's to each his own and like I told them, they make one for everybody.
