Tiffin vs. Monaco
What's your preference and why? Current choices are...
Looked at a nice 03 Tiffin Phaeton today, 30k miles, very nice condition, needs new rear tires and house batteries. $75K
04 Monaco, excellent, 50k miles, new tires & batteries, new TV's...$70K
Any sage advise appreciated.

What model is the Phaeton? What model is the Monaco? How many slides? Options, etc.? Then we can see if we can compare apples to apples.

Look concerned, look like you really care, look like you are very carefully comparing features and options...then get the one the D/W likes.

Tiffin and Monaco both make mostly good, some OK, and a few not good coaches. Five years ago 9 out of 10 would have said Monaco was higher on the pecking order, but there have been big issues at Monaco like going broke and not honoring warranties. But new Monaco is a going concern and last time I saw Tiffin and Monaco at a RV show together it seems like they both were about equal in quality for dollar spent.
Be specific and say which particular models you are looking at. If it is a Monaco Signature there is no comparison. Choose them, but let us know what model.

How about this one. This is a Bus with better features than the Phaeton and a more powerful engine (350 Cummins)
