1997 Dynasty

Hello:
We are looking at a 1997 Dynasty.
Does anyone have the Brochure for that year, cannot find one on the net?
And what is the roof construction; aluminum, rubber or fiberglass?
Thanks for any assistance.
Charles

Thank you for your kind response.

The coach we looked at today was very clean, two owner, all maintenance records and it appears to be a fiberglass roof.

This Dynasty is a four (4) bag coach, any comment on ride quality appreciated.

The Trailing Arms appear to be a one piece, square, heavy wall tube, are these the ones with potential failure?

Appreciate any inputs.

Regards.

I would suggest that you get an independent certified RV mechanic to inspect all the RV systems, including the roof. In addition I would have the engine, transmission, frame, etc. inspected by a diesel service shop. Having a coolant and oil analysis by a lab (like JG Lubricants ) would reveal any hidden problems.

Buy an Engine Oil Analysis Kit Today | Engine Oil Analysis Service

Make sure everything is in writing!! Any purchase should be contingent upon successfully passing these inspections/tests.

Thanks to all for our input.
Spoke with Monaco Tech Support and all questions answered.
It is a fiberglass roof and eight (8) air bag chassis according to the VIN.
Also posted the 1997 Brochure in the Files Section.
Best wishes,
Charles
