We have a 2005 Platinum 231XL and it is a fine unit, very well built with first-class applicances and furnishings. Buy a low-mileage used one from the factory or on Craigslist or from reputable dealers. They are a little cheaper in the southeast than out west, saw one advertised at a dealer in the Seattle area, way overpriced! Take a plane down to Florida and see what you can find, the ticket, rental car and motel will be cheap compared to what you can save by buying at the factory or nearby dealers. Another thing is that our ten year old unit looks just as good as the 2015 models, Coach House doesn't change that often.
