Having a TAG is the difference between day and night. But if you really do not want one, I agree with the Tiffin Phaeton

My opinion is do your homework on chassis not as much on the box builder. Diesel pushers have dozens of chassis configurations and don’t believe for one second they ride alike. You will find just because someone owns a brand it’s always the best no so.

Newmar
Tiffin
American Coach

After witnessing a couple of potential serious damage events to a Newmar Dutch Star (Not Ours) and how well it survived I would not consider anything else. Our old coach just keeps rolling along.

The chassis determines handling and ride not the coach mfgr.
Actually the top 3 are Foretravel, Prevost, Marathon.
Newmar is owned by Winnebago.

OP,
Please specify what price and age range you are considering.
And, any "must haves".
Without that you will get a lot of "my favorite coach is XXX". That may or may not be the best for YOU.
