Well, that is a (you have) tuff choice, we were Vintage trailer people restoring trailers and using them until they sold, lucky for us they would sell in a very short time. After a few trailer's we wanted something much larger, had rented gas powered MH but were very Un-happy the way they drove and how small they all were lack of power, So I started looking for a very kool bus conversion look at quite a few and the prices were very good' but they all have some type of issue or limited usage (most important the Bus values were decreasing at a fast rate like 5th wheels) so after look at buses and smaller MH we stared looking for a large diesel pusher MH some were between 38 & 42 feet, we had 22, 24 26 and 30 travel trailers. Then after months of internet searches and fact finding missions! We came up with CAT or Cummings for Power with 6speed Allison Transmission, Then it was my wife turn to look and find interior features she wanted (that took a while). We shopped all brands and decided that a good used upper end better value Motorhome was what we wanted (we are planning on living in it asap). So we ended up with a CC Magna (Magna because of the deal we made and I like the tag now) we looked at Beavers (good ones) Tiffen (Zephyr model) Monaco and Fort-travel all good values with lots of amenities. Newell and Prevost were out of our price range. We purchased a 600K MH for less than a 1/4 of the cost, buy shopping and making a deal for cash. Seller needed the money! We got much more in our model that we ever expected! ended up with 40ft. Just great for us has 2 slides and lot of cargo area. So In conclusion shop, shop, look, look, check out the brand and the quality the company is or was known for ie. Quality style and reputation. Our coach is now 8.5 yrs old and we are coming up on a 100k no issues to speak of, all problems have been minor. As I stated earlier' do your home work and look for the deals they are out there. I hope this helped a little? Regards' Ross
