We are currently looking at coaches in the 100,000-150,000 range. I am in love with the 2000-2001 Monaco Signature or Beaver Marquis, I am aware of the change of ownership issues but love the elegance and seeming sturdiness of these coaches. We are looking at getting the 400-500 diesel and 10,000-12,500 onan generator, we will be looking for one that can pull a lot of weight, (trailer).
I am searching the forums and have found a lot of great issues to watch ie, slide issues, de-lamination, stress cracks electrical problems, servicing issues.
What I need to know of is actual issues relating to these particular models from actual owners of said vehicles.
If you recommend other types of coaches, fine, but keep in mind the floor plan must not have two couches facing each other and must have a dining set, not dinette and LOTS of wardrobe storage as well as a heated-cooled basement and floor heating. Also it must be a minimum of 40'.
I could also use some input on the benefits/downside of the "Tag axle", it seems to be the only thing I can't find much input on....
We plan on buying from a recommended dealer or individual and actually taking the coach for a thorough test run before buying, and having the unit checked by a qualified tech before buying if the seller won't accept that, we will just keep looking...
