My last 2 motorhomes were purchased new. I began my search looking for new. My budget was near entry level and I knew I wanted Diesel. Looked at the FRED, (MC). The 6.7 @ only 340HP and the Allison 2500, no. Still leaf spring suspension. While much improvement over the gasser chassis very limited choice for RVs and I didn't really see the value. As I was shopping and being disappointed, I gave some though to better equipped and built older stuff. My 2008 was a choice and now that I have a taste of that type of coach build, if there is a next one it will likely be another Fortravel, Prevost, or Newell, and older. How much do I enjoy it? I drove it to work today.
