Monaco Rv reviews

I have only had this Bigfoot C11.5 8 months, but it's been great. The quality of the older units is very good. No leaks or issues, everything functions great. 2 100 ah LifePo batteries, inverter. All new LEDS. Tons of storage and extras being included with camper & truck. Need to sell Both together. 2013 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton Dually with only 70K miles! 6 liter Vortex engine. I paid $34k, selling for $32,000. Truck valued at $24, Camper at $8K. Sweet set up for you... Show less

We have a 2023 Riverside Retro 13.5. We bought the camper new. We sized down to a small camper so we could tow with our Jeep Wrangler. The camper has not had any problems and we have had dozens of trips in it. It was one of the few campers at this size that checked all the boxes. We love the full size fridge and dry bath. We have the Elite and like the ADZELL siding too. My biggest complaint is the awning. It works fine but the arms are very low. Coming from the rear door, it is very easy to bang your head on the low arms and we have a lot. The only other complaint is the upholstery on the sofa is very delicate. I keep a futon cover on it because we take our pups and this has kept it damage free. We feel for the price point, amenities and tow ability the camper has been a good value. Show less

I (second owner) have owned this travel trailer for 5 years and have traveled with it cross country four times in addition to running a number of short trips to national parks (Grand Canyon, Glacier National, Crater Lake) and it has provided a safe and comfortable shelter for two adults and two small dogs in both freezing (<15F) and extreme hot (>105F) weather. After traveling thousands of miles, I have found that this trailer has held up very well and looks to be on the road for many more years due to being well maintained and properly operated. Storage includes not only kitchen cabinets, but also storage under the bed (which pivots up to allow access and storage under the dinette benches. Both areas have been used to store tools, repair parts, dry food, blankets and many other items used on month long trips. Storage accessed externally is enough to store a hitch, load balancing bars, chock blocks, power cables, wi-fi antenna pole, and cleaning supplies. Vaulted ceiling, insulated skylights, 2" insulated side walls, double wall front with extra-tall diamond plate, sealed floor to keep holding tanks from freezing, and heavy-duty forced air 25,000 BTU furnace combine to keep the inside warm. I have used this trailer in temperatures down to 15F with no problem. After market modifications include installing all LED lights inside and outside; a 12V shut-off switch; addition of a half cabinet to provide additional storage; a new stove/oven; new awning; side and rear view cameras used during travel; locked battery storage box; and flex armor applied to the roof. The 19B is a well-built and designed travel trailer that optimizes convenience and ease of use in a small space that makes it ideal for "traveling" cross country in any weather. Anyone wanting more space simply needs to buy a bigger trailer. As my first RV, I could not have bought a better trailer. Show less

​I often get asked why we chose an 18-year-old motorhome, and my answer is simple: because they don't make them like this anymore. Our 2006 Monaco Diplomat 38PST isn't just an RV; it's a testament to quality construction, incredible engineering, and the freedom of the open road—without the hassles of modern emission systems. ​When we purchased this coach in 2023, the odometer read an unbelievable 6,000 miles. Some called us crazy for buying a "vintage" diesel with such low miles, but we took the plunge. After a meticulous tune-up and installing Brand New Hercules Strong Guard HTL Tires, this Monaco has been absolutely flawless. We've put 7,000 miles on it in two years—from the plains of South Dakota to the peaks of Banff—and have experienced ZERO mechanical issues. That proven reliability is why I love it. ​The Sweet Spot: Size, Power, and Comfort ​The 38-foot length is pure genius. With the three slide-outs open, we have all the residential space a couple could ever need, yet it still fits comfortably into almost all State and National Park campgrounds. This gives us access to places bigger coaches can't reach. ​Underneath the beautiful full-body paint is the legendary power train: ​Pre-DEF Cummins ISL 400 HP: Power without the Diesel Exhaust Fluid hassle. This engine is a proven workhorse that laughs at mountain passes. ​Roadmaster Chassis & Allison 3000 MH Transmission: This is the gold standard. The Roadmaster chassis provides a smooth, stable, car-like ride, and the Allison transmission shifts effortlessly. It's a true driver's coach. ​Interior Upgrades that Make it Home ​Monaco's construction is known for its quality wood cabinetry and solid surfaces, but we customized the living space to make it perfect for us. Swapping the factory sofa for a cozy recliner loveseat turned the living area into the ultimate relaxation spot. Add in the new Queen Mattress and porcelain toilet, and you realize every essential comfort has been addressed. ​This motorhome has taken us on the trips of a lifetime, including a recent 3,000-mile journey through the Tetons and Yellowstone. It handled every road and elevation change with grace, keeping us comfortable the entire way. ​If you are looking for a reliable, turn-key, low-mileage coach from the best era of diesel pushers, our Diplomat is truly exceptional. We are sad to see it go, but excited for the next owner to create their own incredible adventures in this meticulously kept machine. Show less

We traveled in this RV with three preteen children. The bunkbeds made all the difference. Queen bed for Mom and Dad, bunkbeds for two of the kids and comfy pull out couch for the 3rd. The kids loved to sit outside under the awning and watch TV on the storage compartment pull out TV. The fridge space was actually decent and worked for the five of us. The outdoor shower house was a smart addition for the times when the kids came back from camping and playing in the mud. The onboard washer and dryer also made life easier. I am an old school camper so all of these modern day amenities really made it feel like were cheating, but Mom and kids loved it. Show less

We were very impressed with the overall quality and craftsmanship of this trailer made in Oregon. It's thicker walls made it much warmer for our winter camping trips and its rugged design handled our off-road dry camping adventures with ease. Super roomy inside with a large pop-out! We loved this trailer! Show less

So I purchased my Radiance ultra lite 32 BH in 2019, I've used the camper roughly 20 times and have mixed thoughts on the unit, the Fridge leaked out it's ammonia a month after the appliance warranty was up, it's 2500 dollars to replace, the wall leaked by the sink from the roof at brand new, had to silicone the hole. And the main door pops open when driving because of shifting do I have to have the hand rail folded over the door and locked to prevent it from completely opening. The camper pulls very nice, the weight seems to be well balanced on the axles, over all I'm disappointed in the unit, I paid 62k for the unit new and have had to fix little things and big things IE the fridge Show less

We lived in our used Safari Cheetah for 2 + years full time. We loved every minute. The set up was perfect for 2 and could have easily managed 2 more if we swapped the recliners for a sleeper sofa. The engine was strong and smooth the entire time. The room and MASSIVE AMOUNT of storage was incredible. We traveled all over the USA in such comfort. For two people or a small family - you can't beat this Class A. It's like an apartment on wheels. We towed a 4 dr Jeep Wrangler as well as 2 E Bikes on the back. Show less
