Monaco Trek 26HMD

Lazydays in Tampa has them in stock.

They do great job with the video tours.

Thanks, that is about a two day drive for me. I will keep looking for someplace about 8 hours or less.

You should be able to get a good deal on one since it appears that Monaco has already stopped production of the Trek after their trial period.

I guess I will have to contact Monaco to find out why they discontinued production.

The "new" Trek was being built as an experiment to see if there was enough demand to warrant going in to full production. Apparently at the time when they introduced it in 2014, it was never received by the buying public to the point where people were snatching them up from the dealer's lots.
There was a Trek that was built by Safari starting in 1991 and later Monaco from 2003-2008 that was unique and of high quality. Those older Treks are still cherished and they maintain their value better than many newer coaches. Unfortunately the new Trek did not contain the things that made the older Treks unique and the potential buyers were not impressed. There were many older Trek owners that would have loved a new version of their old units but it turns out the new Trek was a Trek in name only.

The new Trek was a Trek in name only and is not like the Treks made until 2008. The older ones had great floor plans and high quality. The new Treks had fair/poor quality and not so good floor plans. Not many sold and were discontinued as a result.

Thanks for all of the info. Guess I will have to start looking again.

Yeah, I understand the want for that coach. I like them.

I stopped at the Monaco display while at the Perry, GA FMCA rally in mid-March and asked to see the "new" Trek - under the Holiday Rambler logo. The rep there said the Trek was a trial balloon. He said I could probably find an unsold on at a dealer somewhere (because they were so undesirable and their sales were so poor).

Trek owners say they were surveyed to find out what features they'd like to see if the Treks were brought back - none of those features made it to production - no wonder they weren't well received!

So I am interested in what would be the risks in purchasing a discontinued model? For example the engine is Ford so parts and service I would think might not be an issue. The generator is an Onan so I would expect no issue there as far as service. I am really open to your thoughts because this unit fits some constraints we have and if the risk was not too great and we could get it at the right price it might make sense.

I would really appreciate you wisdom and thoughts on this one.

Thanks!
