Have owned this Monaco just 1yr this month and its been in the shop for over 2.5 months trying to get things fixed that should have been done at the factory before it ever left. Quality control at the factory must really suck to see them come to dealers with all these problems. No help from factory so check it out good before buying. Need any info. on problems let me know.

Out of 11 months I've had it its been in the shop 68 days for repairs on things that didn't work from day one. Things that were never checked before leaving factory.Now local shop trying to fix about 30 items.Not a happy camper.

I purchased this RV new. I spent about one year shopping. This model doesn't require DEF which is an additional cost of $350 a gallon. The 405 HP engine is more than adequate.

We bought this RV late 2010 and have absolutely loved it. The ride is so smooth and the floor plan is perfect! We use to haggle over the bathroom with one sink but this RV has a total of 3 sinks. The mid bathroom is perfect going down the road. The frig and bathroom are both accessible while driving. The passenger recliner is awesome! We have worked out all the bugs and now when we travel in it we get to just enjoy the trip! I'm sad to sell but my husbands health no longer warrants us to keep it. We live our big dawg and whoever it goes to will love it as well.

The millage we got 7.8 average towing my 3500 Cummins truck.Hand calculated. Great floor plan and features great heating and we cannot believe the quaility compared with a higher priced coaches.
We would recommend this motor home to anybody. Ours a 43 RFT Diplomat.

This is my second Monaco and I would buy another one. Have had several problems with this coach, but Monaco has stood behind their product. No complaints about their customer service. The problems stem from the items used to make the coach such as a/c compressor, Thetford toilet, step motor, water pump, leveling jacks, refrigerator. These have been the major items as well as some minor ones but we still enjoy our Monaco product.
