At that merge, the Astoria was an entry/mid-level diesel pusher with a great floor plan. For some reason that floor plan was discontinued until last year when it re-appeared as the Thor Aria. You could purchase a 2009 - 2011 Astoria for a significantly less price than for aone or two year old Aria. Several Astoria's are available on RV Trader most of which have low mileage diesel pushers --> https://www.rvtrader.com/New-and-Use...tView=listView&

I have owned my Astoria for two years with very very troubles and a lot of enjoyment. The GVWR of my Astoria is 28,000 lbs. (i.e. the max fully loaded motorhome weight) with a GCWR of 33,000 lbs. (i.e. max weight of tow vehicle/trailer plus motorhome). The 5,000 lbs. difference between GCWR and GVWR is the max weight of a tow vehicle / trailer. Hence why I tow a 4,000 lbs. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.


Thanks for the tip! I will go check them out and see what their floor plana look like.
