Before You buy that next coach... at least go drive an air ride DP....and as far as a Foretravel being too big,,They did make 34'ers.... older coaches ..yes but if taken care of,the year model means nothing..A couple of them here...
ALL Pre Owned motorhomes Inventory
Be sure to check out the engine size and heavy duty transmission with retarder(for the horsepower rating), fuel/fresh water and holding tank capacities &&&....the amount of basement storage compared to what you have had... and a superior air ride & leveling system.

OK got the "flame suit" on.....fire at will

You could by 2 Palazzos for that![/QUOTE]
That's absurdly Expensive! Overpriced by at least $150,000.

I learned that I have a really good MH from the posts, we bought our 33AA a few months ago, it is quiet, nimble and hauls the jeep effortlessly, we get 10-11 mpg, hills are not an issue, up or down. We didn’t know a thing about MH, but the advice we received was spot on, diesel, under 35ft- there are 2 of us, used, but no more than 2 yr. my wife also required a washer and dryer. Bought a 2 yr old 33AA and have no regrets. We have looked at newer and larger coaches, but the is large for us, comfortable and works well

After 3 years and 26K miles, just works perfectly for us and how we like to vacation/travel/camp.

Yes...That number is just over the top for me....These rigs depreciate really fast so I think if I were to want a high end coach I would just go to the used market where you get more bang for your buck...

Thanks John....The Tiffin 33AA is where we first started a few years ago...Now Tiffin produces the Breeze in 31 & 32 so it prompted me to ask the Rep's why ?? We may come back full circle to look again at the 33AA...The New Air sounds very interesting but its a boat load of money....

Plenty of power. We regularly do the Appalachian mountains couple times a year, and have been on long extended trips out west 3 times thru the Rockies. Last year even did the Grand Teton mountain pass pulling our toad (thank goodness for exhaust brake coming back down....). It'll cruise all day on the interstate, it's just a very very solid platform as far as I'm concerned.
