Repeat Coach Purchases
I have currently a Super C coach and am going to an Aspire 45 foot coach as I have needs for more room since I am going from an occasional usage to more of a full-time need. What I don't fully understand when I read the posts on this forum is why people that have the same class of coach continually (every 2-3 years) trade in and get a new coach.
Is it because :
1. Newer features?
2. Better floorpan?
3. Want something in warranty?
4. Want to get out of the coach before depreciation is horrible (is there a sweet spot in selling to get the most out of a used coach)?
5. Current coach is falling apart?
6. Love dealing with new coach issues? 
7. Something else?
8. All of the above?
I am happy folks are getting new coaches, I just wonder if I am missing something. I know some people like to get a new car every year, perhaps that is just a thing with coaches as well.

In my case it was for more sleeping room for the kids. The 44R Bunk model allows that and each child has there own bed. My 2014 RBQ was limited to a jack knife and small single air bed in the den then I couldn't exit the coach with both out. Plus I get the updated exterior, dual awnings,150gal fuel tank, diesel aqauhot, and all the improvements.

Seems to me for many that rving is kinda like a sport and hobby so it’s fun
To change around... I love my anthem but always like to look at other coaches.. and if the right deal came by me on a classic cornerstone I might make the switch.. why? Because it would be fun..

We are just gluttons for punishment!
Seriously, we like bunks and they are hard to find on the used market.
With that being said, our next coach will likely be used.

They have lots of money to get rid of and no where else to get rid of it, and must love hanging around Middlebury IN to get all the issues repaired again. There is just not enough difference in 2 model years most years to matter.

We loved our Aspire, but I wanted a Cornerstone. No Cornerstone DEQ available so I settled for the B, but I told them if they built a DEQish Cornerstone, I'd buy it. Those dirty guys built the X, so I was stuck. Very happy with all of them

4, 4, and 4. If you don't change coaches at 3 years and 40,000 when there's some value left, you should keep it for 20 and 200,000.

Someone's got to supply the used market with well maintained, late model, low mileage units..! We'll be more than happy to take one for the team every couple years..!

Then there are some of use that don't change that often and probably should. We would like to do #2.  but are afraid of #6 being as hard as this one was.
