Just wondering how does the Monaco models line up by the expensive to the least expensive. Also what company is Monaco, is a part of a largest company to include HR or what?
Thanks

Presently the Monaco and Holiday Rambler brand names are owned by ASV (same company that owns American Coach and Fleetwood). They are building very few models at the moment. From 2009 to 2014 the brands were owned by NAVISTAR (owner of International Trucks and Maxforce engines. Prior to 2009 Monaco and HR brands were owned by Monaco LLC. Monaco also built coaches under the Safari and Beaver nameplate. Monaco LLC went bankrupt in 2009. As far as Diesel coaches the list provided by Walt is correct for Monaco although Royal was a custom coach conversion and they stopped build the windsor in about 2006. Holiday Rambler offer coaches matching the Monaco lineup except their high end one matched the Exec.
Exc = Imperial
Dynasty = Navigator
Camelot = Septer
Diplomat = Endeavor
There are matches for the other models but I am not sure which one matches.

And the HR Vacationer was the clone of the Monaco LaPalma. Both made diesel pushers from 2006 to around 2009. The Vacationer is still being built as a gas rig.

Need to swap the Navigator and the Imperial.

We have a 2013 Ambassador 40DFT. Have been told by other Endeavor owners that this model is comparable to the Endeavor. Lots of bells and whistles. Saw the 2015 Ambassador, and no relation to the 2013. (believe none built for 2014) 2015 really bottom of HR line. Only thing I liked was the mid entry door.

It is a travesty what ARG (ASV) did to the H/R Ambassador. It is now an entry level diesel pusher at best. The mid entry can be debated just like floor plans and paint colors. I will keep my 2008 H/R Ambassador 40 SKQ for many years. No way I would own a current model Ambassador.
