Looking for opinions about quality

[meleavingsoon]

Hi all,

I plan to start looking for a class A diesel pusher in the near future and would like some suggestions of manufacturers to consider.

We owned a 1999 American Coach product (model was a Heritage) for about 5 years but then sold it several years ago to try a 5th wheel trailer. We were very satisfied with the coach so I have already made up my mind to consider one of their coaches again (maybe an Eagle or Tradition also).

I would appreciate any suggestions from those of you who have had experience with models that would be comparable to American Coach. I know a little about the Country Coach product and like them also.

I am interested in the years approx. 1995-2002. I would like to stay in the price range of $20-50k. The front room slide out is nice. The Heritage we owned was 45'...but I know we can not probably do that again with my budget.

Thanks for any tips,
Phil

Since this is a request for opinions and I have one (surprise!!).... I agree with Bruce - Newmar (very biased). I have friends with a Monaco which seems very good. Prevost is very, very good (and very expensive).

Holiday Rambler/Monaco, Travel Supreme, and Newmar would be my suggestions.

I will freely admit we are Newmar biased. We've owned 3 of them now, if we ever buy again it will be another Newmar.

Also there are lots of Beavers out there for sale. I know of two for sale privately that have been taken care of and are super great coaches. I have a 2001 Beaver and love it. Made well with solid wood and a great chassis.

I would suggest a Monaco Dynasty in those years... a lot of nice features and a tag axle. In late 02 the LR slide increased to going out 38". Also somewhere in there it went from a 360 HP ISC to a 400 HP ISL. It was made in 38', 40', and 42'.
