OT Advice on class A MOTORHOMES

I have 8 tractors-----Going to buy a motor home for my wife. We are in the center of Michigan and travel 100 miles to either Lake Michigan or Huron or 200 plus to the UP--SHORT TRIPS....
Going to buy used and like the Newmar and Tiffin--price in the 70-90K range. Any other makes that are decent that you folks have knowledge of????????????????

Thank you

take look on rv.net. It will provide loads of owner information

Len, I've owned, used bought and sold Motorhomes nearly 40 years and loved every minute of it. You say you are buying a used one which I think is financially wise and you have made your choice so I hope people will address your question and not start fights about your personal choice (motels versus RV lifestyle etc etc blah blah blah lol)

Its been my experience Newmar, Marathon and of course Prevost etc. are top line, but I like the less expensive Tiffin family also. If you step down some in price I like the Winnebago family.

Since you are using it for shorter trips I don't think the extra initial cost plus maintenance a Diesel unit would ever pay for itself over a gas powered unit. However, many larger Class A's are going to be Diesel pushers of which I prefer Cummins coupled to an Allison tranny. A smaller not so expensive Class A gas powered unit may have say a Ford V10 but I personally prefer Chevrolet based over that.

There are so many available options I dont even want to open that can of worms, so look at your needs, explore the options SHOP AROUND, test drive and I dont think you could go wrong with the likes of a Newmar ONE GREAT COACH. There are a ton of RV Forums like Good Sam and RV Net, Forest River, IRV2 etc etc and others where you would get more informed opinions versus some here. Ask the same question on those and you will get a ton of good info and plenty of opinions

My BIL picked up a 15 year old Monaco 40 ft turbo diesel pusher from a dealer in South Bend. It was dealer's personal motor home. Had 45k miles on it. There wasn't anything wrong with it, even came with new tires. I think he picked it up for around $50K.

I don't have a motor home. I don't really want one. This motorhome looks like a grayhound bus. Heated storage, boiler, washer/dryer, cermanic floors, back up camera. It was like new. Beautiful wood cabinets.

No lack of power either. When I helped drive it to Florida, I thought I was driving a semi. 9ft 10 inches form outside mirror to outside mirror. When passed by a semi, I thought they were going to take the mirrors off.

Thank you fellas--Appreciate the information...
