National Motorhome
So,,, we currently co-own a National Dolphin 5320 coach with my dad. I am very pleased with the quality of the MH. After the first of the year we may be in the market for a MH of our own, so that we could travel and camp together with my Dad. However making more memories with my wife is important to me at this time and I want to make as many trips as possible, within reason.
I would be looking for DP 38-40 footer National motor home.
Here's the loaded question: which National MH do you think is best built.,

I'm partial to Tradewinds but that is because I have had a couple. Spartan chassis is pretty darn good.

Interior décor and chassis are the differences. National assembled their units on the same assembly line with identical materials.

Fulltime for 3 years and my Tradewind is second to none.
Quality is great It is what you can look for as the price is good and you will enjoy for a long time.
Go on the National owners site on this forum and you will get your answer.

We have a Dolphin with a GM 8.1 and it beats the Ford hands down. No comparison.

We have a 2005 Tropi-Cal 370 LX on a Freightliner chassis. Our first DP. Really love the coach. Quality is great!
We found National to be the best possible value when we were shopping. I don't think you can go wrong as long as the coach has been serviced and cared for and is in good condition.
Good Luck!!

If it's not a for sure thing on what you get, I can make you one hell of a deal on another Dolphin. It is a little bigger that the one you have now, it's a 6375 LX with 3 slides and on a workhorse chassis. If you are open and want more info, PM me.
