|  "Diesel M/H - Search for Quality"
, posted Fri 16 Nov 10:37 
Please advise where I can research the quality rating of diesel motor homes. I am looking for a 40', cummins powered, quality coach for around 185-200K. I like the Monaco Windsor floorplan best, but understand they have terrible customer relations when warranty items arise. I like the Winnebago Advantage floorplan 2nd, but I have read and heard that they have a history of poor quality. The last one I'm considering is a Newmar MountainAire. It has the least desirable floorplan, doesn't look like it's finished out as well as the Winnebago, but they are the only ones who offer 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. I can't afford to make a mistake here. Any help or leads greatly appreciated.

rvnetlinx.com, you will have to join, but I think you can get the information you need.Go check out a good used Bird in your price range. If possible put your best 2 side by side, and compare a Bird to anything else. You will see what I mean.

Have you taken a good look at the Country Coach?

Yes, I spent a great deal of time in and around a Concept. Side by side Apples for Apples, the Bird has it over the Concept big time. The County Coach Concept I was comparing had lost a great deal of gel coat, and fiberglass had cracked in several places, and this coach was only 4 years old. I thought too much ginger, not enough safety and storage. Values also fell much quicker. It's hard to beat that 40 year track record of Bluebird's
