Which Pre-DEF DP brand to buy?

Hi,
I am in the process of purchase my first pre-DEF Diesel Pusher, preferably under 40', 36'-37' will be the best, only want to buy 2005-2007, I am looking at the following manufactories and models in the beginning:
American Coach
American dream
American eagle
American tradition


Country Coach
Allure
Inspire
TRIBUTE

NewMar
Dutch Star
Kountry Star
Mountain Air


Tiffin
Allegro Bus

Monaco
Dynasty


But when the more I do my research, the more I like Country Coach, the problem is there are not that many out there, almost all of them are out of state, it is definitely no easy feat, especially I also would like to do trade in .

So the question is Country Coach really worth all those trouble? this is for those people has tried country coach and other brands.

Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
John

Recommendations

We would highly recommend Monaco Dynasty, Holiday Rambler, Beaver, up to year 2007- 2008. We had (3) dynasties and the roadmaster chassis is great. Fit and finish was outstanding . Stay safe.

I think you are on the right track.

I have a 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 4032.

There are a LOT of Monacos still out there. Keep in mind that Monaco had a sister brand, Holiday Rambler. I believe the Dynasty equivalent was the Navigator. The Camelot level was a quality coach. One of the best coaches they ever made was the Windsor. They also took over Beaver and was the manufacturer during the time frame you're looking at.

That’s a good list. We’re very happy with our American Coach. There is a Country Coach of similar vintage down the street from us and I have to say, It’s a beautiful rig.
