One point not yet mentioned. Our Monaco model normally comes with a drop center section at the ceiling and a polished ceiling panel above it. I guess this gives it the Bordello look.
We did NOT want that type of ceiling because it reduces the A/C efficiency quite a bit. We ordered a flat ceiling like is on most all MHs, 3 extra A/C ceiling vents, and two 15,000 BTU A/C units. This reduced efficiency is because the A/C vents that usually blow the cooled air straight down toward the floor would blow against the drop ceiling panel that is 4-6 inches below the A/C ceiling vent. This very effectively stops the cool air and pools it above the drop ceiling. Well, guess what, the A/Cs air return intake is close to the pool of cool air and you have a vicious cycle of cool air being almost immediately recycled back into the A/C unit without ever moving down toward the floor.
Of course this happens with the A/C vents that are fore and aft of the A/C return air intake seriously reducing the cooling effect in the coach. For example with two A/Cs above the drop ceiling, it almost nullifies the cool air from four A/C vents. Furthermore, it reduces the cool downward airflow on all the A/Cs vents that are above the drop ceiling, even the ones that are not next to the A/C return air vent. The bad news is that the drop ceiling is usually in the front section of the coach and that usually is the most difficult area to keep cool. If the bedroom has a drop ceiling then it's even worse for cooling.
Before we ordered our coach in 2003 I already knew that 40 footers with drop ceilings and three A/Cs were not being cooled as well as 40 footers with two A/Cs and a flat ceiling where the A/C vents can blow the cool air downward.
I know of people that have removed the drop ceiling, at great cost, and added a cross block (thwartships to the coach) in order to reduce this immediate recycling of cold air back into the A/C. Then they reinstalled the drop ceiling.
We chose function over form!
