So, my wife and I just returned from our first real trip in our 2008 Monaco Cayman XL 35SBD, nice coach, no issues to speak of at all.
Why were able to use this trip to write down pros and cons of our Coach and our travel experience.
- Coach performed extremely well
Decided the modified Sleep number queen bed is just not quite big enough for my 6' frame
Cummins performed extremely well
Jeep towed wonderfully behind it
All in all great trip
My wife and I own a business so we of course had to spend some time each day working, our biggest issue in our coach is that there are only two slides and not a lot of space.
We have decided that we really like RVing, enjoyed seeing some of the country but we need a bigger RV.
I am a big fan of Monaco so we have been looking at used Monaco's, we found a 2008 Monaco Cayman XL 37PDQ, four slides, 8700 miles, nice upgrades, etc. Basically two ft longer and two extra slides. Huge difference inside.
We also found a 2006 Monaco Knight 40' not sure of the exact model but it has a king bed and an actual desk area in the bedroom. 24k miles, a bit dated, priced $15k less than the 2008 Cayman 37PDQ.
I guess I am just soliciting your views, especially if you own EITHER of these models. Pros and Cons. I am not in a huge hurry to buy a new one, but if the price is good and seems like a fair deal.... well I should probably jump on it.
