Working on purchasing a 95 Dynasty. I know many good things about Monaco coaches, but I just wondered what you current owners think might be their best reasons to buy, and continue to own, a Monaco?

Monaco tech support 24/7 even for a 1995 coach is a strong reason to buy Monaco. You will also have the expertise of the Monaco owners on this site that have a wealth of information to share.

I personally like the way they handle and the fit and finish. Not to say there are not other brands that would serve just as well.

monaco has the best ride money can buy... except i am partial to tag axle coaches only.... 10 air ride airbags sold me... their service in indiana was excellent as well....my safari is still the best coach for the least money in the 2009 line-up...

As my signature says, I now have a 2005 Monaco Dynasty. Previously I had a 2003 Dynasty.

There are other coaches out there that I have looked at and might have considered, I can say I am very happy with the Monaco Dynasty and do not expect to stray from it.

I have made many modifications to it on my own and the more I do, the more I am comfortable doing and I learn from every mod I make.

Most every bit of my coach seems to be very solid. It rides very well and I can feel the road, which is important to me.

I drove another manufacturers coach and I thought I was driving a marshmellow. When I turned the wheel, I never knew when to expect the coach to turn.... rather scary.

I have a Tag Axle and would not have anything but.

I do not know a lot about the older models, but the newer ones with the 11 airbags (do not forget, must count the one in the passenger's seat)are really nice.

We enjoy the ride and the fact that it is a quality coach.

I would only consider a DP that had a side mounted radiator for easy access to the engine. After comparing only those coaches that met that criteria, I choose the 2007 Camelot based on the equipment installed, one piece windshield, and pre-emission Cummins 400 ISL.
