Good afternoon, everyone.
I'm new to the forum and about to purchase my first motorhome.
I'd like to hear your opinions on a 2022 Class A Holiday Rambler Nautica 34RX.

Thank you very much.

Welcome!

My first long trip in my new 2022 Class A was to that area in late year 2021. I was riding my electric motorcycle in the Kissimmee area when I was staying in St. Cloud in my RV, which is where my avatar photo was taken shown here.

It features a Cummins ISB Turbocharged 6.7L engine and a Freightliner XCR chassis. The 34RX floorplan includes a rear private master suite with a king bed and ample wardrobe storage. Generally, the Holliday Rambler has a pretty good reputation, but this one is 3 years old now and that is long enough to have made a lot of difference. On any used RV, the condition is the most important factor. Unless you are an RV expert, I recommend that you get it inspected by a certified pre-purchase RV inspector before you spend any money on it. Such inspections are not cheap but they might save you from a major mistake.

Thank you very much. Can you recommend an inspector for the Orlando, Florida, area?

Between a Class C Entegra Qwest R and a Class C Winnebago View 24D, which is better?

The Winnebago View 24D is often considered the better option due to its off-grid capabilities, premium features, and Winnebago's extensive experience building on the Mercedes-Benz chassis. However, the Entegra Qwest R also offers a luxurious experience with its premium chassis features. Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on individual priorities and preferences.

Welcome to The Forum!

The HR is a very nice coach. Based on the MSRP quoted on the RVUSA website, $336,090, this rig should have sold new for around $220,000, or less. Base your used figure on that. I usually deduct 10% for each year old.

Between Winnebago and Entegra, I too would go with Winnebago. Although Entergra is part of Jayco, parent company Thor has gussied up Jayco's and slapped the Entegra name on them or has used the Entegra name to portray higher-end products.

I'd call the Nautica and "entry level" diesel coach. It may seem bizarre to call something with $336k price tag "entry level", but well-equipped and well-powered diesel motorhomes start above that price and nice ones are well north of $500k. As Adventurous Traveler explained, you could probably buy this coach new for $250k (plus tax), so a 3-year old one would be somewhere in the vicinity of $175k if in excellent condition. Remember, asking prices are very much negotiable.

These days even an entry level diesel pusher model isn't cheesy and will have many of the popular features (see the brochure), so you can still feel proud when you get to the campground. However, you may find some shortcomings compared to top-line brethren. Some examples might be a lower CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity), shorter wheelbase, lower quality upholstery or cabinetry, etc. Those are just examples - I'm not familiar with that model of coach.
