That was the first race I ever attended. Yes, that was definitely cool.workingtorv said:one time at Charlotte a big bomber did the flyover over and it shadowed the track, that was so surreal.

So far I really like it. We have been in it for 36 nights and 3500 miles. Right now it is undergoing the big updates Kevin always does - 900 watts solar (we ordered it with 6 batteries), EMS, battery monitor, cell booster, and probably something else I have forgotten. As an old electrical engineer, he just loves to tinker. Just remember in your pricing to add the cost of setting up the toad and save some for extras that are important to you. Also the 2019s are being built now, and I am sure the price went up some. They made the interior slightly more ornate and added a long narrow window in the kitchen from what I see in the pictures. We are heading out in late September for just under 3 months, andI can?t wait. The interior is very livable for us.workingtorv said:Thanks, I was hoping you would respond, I didn?t want to come across nosey so didn?t ask, I also didn?t want to hijack another thread. So you like your 37PA? I do think it fits the bill. It may be sooner if I get the right price, I would prefer new. Thanks.
Gary RV_Wizard said:I would buy an older but higher end model, e.g. that Dynasty or Dutch Star you mentioned. Go back in years until your $200k budget fits - it won't actually be all that old. RV's depreciate so rapidly that $200k will get you a top-line coach that is maybe 5 years old. or a mid-line coach only 2-3 years old. The difference is not just amenities - the higher priced models are more capable in many way. Better chassis with more weight carrying capacity, substantially better cabinetry throughout, higher grade upholstery & flooring, and better materials & workmanship under the covers.

If I had 1 M to spend there are beautiful Foretravels at MHSRV - Wow, have a look, pretty nice inside and build and engine for the men. Sadly I have not won the lottery yet. Can you imagine the tariff I would have to pay ?
My goodness, that Foretravel is beyond sensational. One of the best looking motorhomes I have ever seen.WILDEBILL308 said:I am trying to figure out what part of the interior of the one in the link I posted was so bad and unlivable? Nice Newell for only $174,500.
Or this Fortravel for $159,500

Either the Newell or the Foretravel would be light years better than anything newer in your price range. Forget about the age, RVs do not deteriorate like a car does. People who own high end RVs take care of them much b better than the average RV owner.workingtorv said:Bill, nothing wrong with either the Newell or Foreteavel but the next one will likely be it and they are older than what I want to go.
But I?m still listening and printing them out for my husband to look at.
Thanks

timjet said:Though not in the same class as that Foretravel we love our '07 American Coach Tradition. We've had it 1.5 years and the quality inside and out is light years ahead of what we're seeing today. Not glitzy by today's standards but I'd rather have the quality.
Interesting comment by SeilerBird: "People who own high end RVs take care of them much b better than the average RV owner."
I say this because I have walked though literally hundreds of used RVs that were for sale. The high end RVs were almost always much better cared for.timjet said:Interesting comment by SeilerBird: "People who own high end RVs take care of them much b better than the average RV owner."
That's like asking would an apple be better than an orange. For what? A coach with that 340 HP diesel is likely to be quite a bit heavier than the one with the V-10, and the same vintage and condition 340 HP diesel coach is also likely to be more expensive than the V-10 coach. It probably (not guaranteed) will also have more amenities. It likely would get a little better fuel mileage, but maintenance expenses may be a bit higher.would a 340hp with 700lbs/ft torque be a better choice than a gas V10?
