My rv neighbor has 38ft monaco dp. He weighed his ... 10,000 lbs on the front and closer to 18k lbs on the rear. He told me to take front to 90 lbs and it will be night and day going over bridges. Good advice ?Re: Need a fill in night on the Keys, suggestions pleaseI spoke with Boyd's today . They had some openingsRe: RV driving lessons ASAP Please!I had never driven a class A when I bought mine. I did have a 40 ft 5th wheel with a dually. I consider the 36ft dp much easier.Re: gas vs. diesel engine motor home Fishinghat wrote: I normally would vote for the diesel, but in 6 years you will want to sell the coach and any potential buyer will probably want to finance the purchase. Most lending institutions don't want to finance anything over 10 years old. Don't drive the diesel, since you'll fall in love with the ride and the quietness.

Make sure you factor in some $ for problems. Mine had a lift pump and two engine sensors that failed due to age, setting and ULSD. Plan on a full service profile, all filters/all fluids, for the generator, too. Did I mention buy it at the right price? 01 Monaco knight 36r 315 cummins isc, Allison tranny in good shape 38k...Re: So diesels dont like to sit....thanks very much for the feedback. great advice
