Opinion Requested

I too think the diesel is the better choice. The ad says Allison Transmission but does not specify if it is the 6 speed. The shifter certainly does not look like the 6 speed control pad for the tranny in my rig. Just something else to check out.

Good luck

Had a gasser once---that was enough of that. That DP is pretty cheap for what it is and will be around when the gasser is worn out.....

What you need to figure out is if how you use the living space. The Rexhall is designed to be very open and have a very wide feel. The Kountry Star is more traditional. If you eat in your living room anyway, then you will probably prefer the Rexhall layout.

I'd go DP. I agree the other layout is better but you can do a little updating and end up with a way better rig. I've also had both, the DP is a better chasis.

I actually prefer the higher mileage Rexall. That indicates a lot of use which means most likely required and suggested maintenance was done faithfully. Of course that comes with more wear on the interior.

I drove a Workhorse W22 chassis for 110,000 miles over 8 years and had no complaints. Even the brake recall which I had performed, did not directly affect me because we never parked it for any length of time. Thus 45K miles on a 2002 would worry me more than anything else, its too little! How many hours on the Gen?

If you want to drive it 1,000 miles and park for the season, I like the Kountry Star, If you plan to travel, I wouldn't touch it, the diesel will far outperform it.

I'm a Rexall fan regardless but in this case a bit more so. The engine is just breaking in and from the looks of the exterior and interior of the rig, the owner has probably taken really good care of the engine as well. An oil test would be in order prior to final purchase decision. This was a traveling rig.

The Newmar is okay and shows off what makes it a favored coach - quality build. Unfortunately, the refrigerator is small and dated despite its recent replacement. I'm also leery of the needed replacement of the dash A/C - odd at that low mileage. I'm thinking snow bird rig.

I'm with Altern and glamisorbust - the diesel Rexall is the favored choice.

The Rexhall looks a lot more dated for only being a year older. IMO

Rexall hands down.

Thanks for posting the Clicky Mike. IMHO, I would choose the coach that the floor plan best suits your needs!

II have owned both a DP and gas coach, and I will never own a gas coach again. Not just the engine, but the suspension, brakes and towing ability are way more substantial on the DP. Good luck.
