- RayChezExplorer45' might be too big. I know that when I was planning of going full time and selling both of our houses, a lot of our friends told me it was a big mistake buying the 45' coach we were interested in because we would have problems getting into a lot of parks.

Thank you all for the input. In a stoke of luck, we were at the Rally RV show in Syracuse, NY we found a better deal than the 07. DW and I have put a deposit on a 2009 HR Navigator with the 650 Cummins, 45 foot with about 11,000 miles at the same price as the 07, 43 foot with the 525 that we were looking at.
We will be picking the coach up in a few weeks and very excited.
I'd be darn excited too!! Have fun with a great coach!! - JimM68ExplorerYea. I am sooo jealous, a bad case of five foot itus...
You'll love your new coach. Signature / Navigator are the best of the best (imho of course) - islandvagabondsExplorerI want one !!!!!
- RayChezExplorerWOW! That is a big engine, but also a big coach. It should be nice. 45'is pretty long. Eleven thousand for a four year old coach is nothing. Must have been parked for a long time.
Good luck and post some pic's of that big monster. - S-n-LExplorerThank you all for the input. In a stoke of luck, we were at the Rally RV show in Syracuse, NY we found a better deal than the 07.

Fuel economy could be an issue since you'll probably get about 6 to 7 mpg, but slightly more if you slow down to mid 50's or so. However, you can keep up with anybody on any hill (just about). Depreciation will almost always exceed fuel costs, so fuel economy doesn't really make that much of a difference anyway. You should have a 150 gal fuel tank. - The_TexanExplorerI would love to own a Navigator. It is an awesome motorhome. The only drawback will be fuel economy on the ISX, in the 5½ - 6½ mpg range.
- Blaster_ManExplorerThe Navigator used to be HR's top model, they are very nice.

Hi All,
This weekend I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a 2007 Holiday Rambler Navigator. It has low mileage, about 27,00 and has the Cummins ISX 525.
Any information would be appreciated, the good the bad and the ugly.

Here is an URL for the brochure for that year:
2007 HR Navigator
Navigators haven't been made for the past several years. The new owner, ASV, has hinted that they may start making the top of the line diesel models again.
