Red face We would like DP suggestions, PLEASE?

Hi, we currently own a Winnebago Vista, Model 35f. We are considering upgrading to a diesel pusher, 40+ feet. My wife wants a bath and 1/2 and recliner seats for the living room; no overcab tv. We cannot afford a million dollar Prevost, but at first glance like the Entegra line of products, especially the Aspire. We simply don't know which coach to buy that gives us the best bang for our buck and is especially reliable. MHSRV in Texas apparently has excellent pricing. We just don't know what to look for, so I open this up for suggestions from those much more experienced than us. Thank you!

Entegra makes good rigs, but there isn't a lot of customization available when ordering. If you want to customize the interior then check Newmar.
Don't leave Tiffin out either. I looked at a 37' Tiffin pusher a couple weeks ago. while not up to the quality of my CC it was certainly good for the $.

Have no idea what your budget is but there are many to chose from. My brother has a Phaeton with the same set up you are looking for and he seems to like it. Look on RV Trader, here or other places to get some ideas what is available.

If I were looking for a new diesel pusher, I would be looking at the three brands already mentioned, Entegra, Newmar and Tiffin. If you plan on doing your own maintenance, I would consider a side radiator model, they are much easier to work on. That means Entegra Anthem or Cornerstone, Newmar Dutch Star or above, Tiffin Allegro Bus or above. Just my opinion.

We had a 2007 Thor Tuscany, 4076. Were looking to upgrade. Really were interested in the used Entegras. Long story short, went to a rv show in Phoenix in Feb, and fell for a Winnebago Sightseer, 36Z. It has everything you listed, except for the DP aspect. Other than than getting used to engine noise, the transition has been great. The Entegra would give you 100HP more and a lot more torque then I had. But compared to my 350 Cat, the V10 doesn't take a back seat to anybody. Oh yeah, you can get the Sightseer new for less than a "good" used Entegra.

First welcome to the forum. Don't over look the Tiffin coaches. Good luck in your search.

Glad to have you here in the forum with us. You're gonna love it here.

Good luck with your search. Spend time in the ones you like, preferably without the salesman and get a feel for it. Driving it would be a plus.

Happy Trails!!!

I thought the Winnebago forza was a good unit for the price.
