$125k to spend - Country Coach vs Newmar

[Mr_D]

The DynoMax chassis was also used for a few other brands due to CC selling out. Was it Holiday Rambler and Monaco? Very rare too.
And you'll never see that chassis again as the jigs were sold and destroyed.

Newmar is sexy but not sure that anything in my price range ($125k) will beat the Country Coach.

Class A
Diesel Pusher
Pre DEF
Dynomax Chassis
36-40' length
6-8 outboard airbags
Independent from axle
Rear tag axle
400+ hp /1200+ fpt
Allison 3k (4k preferred)
3 - 4 slides (two front slides required)
8k Onan

Does anyone have some input?
Or any other brands I should be looking at?

Did you see this one?

That Dutch Star is nice. With some smart shopping, $125k can buy a nice coach.

Here's a few more:

This is a top of the line Monaco Signature with a Cummins ISM 500hp engine and an Allison MH4000 transmission.

Some think these early Foretravel coaches are some of the best coaches ever built.

The DynoMax chassis was never used on anything but Country Coach.


The Monacos and Holiday Ramblers were built on the Roadmaster chassis


On edit, I remember that when CC was owned by National RV Holdings, the DynoMax chassis was used on the National Islander and Tradewinds. The chassis was not 100% DM as there were a few mods made to it. Holes were cut in the frame tubes for the slide rails to go thru. Gussets were welded around the holes to give more strength.
