I have a 07 Country Coach Magna 630. It is a very good Coach. It is well made, drives great and I can operate it in any weather. I hear a lot of good things about the Cornerstone. I would like to hear from anyone who has gone from a Country Coach to a Cornerstone regarding the pros and cons of that move.

Good morning, Firstly, as a new user, hello to everyone on here and thanks in advance for any help/advice you may have. I am actually in the UK and am looking at buying a diesel A class in the next twelve months or so to leave in the US and to use for (hopefully) six months of the year, the max a tourist visa will allow. Here's what I have thought/learned already: 1. We would like a 43-45' unit with a bath & ½. We especially like the 44B (Entegra) and similar Tour 'L' lounge layouts 2. If used, tyres & batts a consideration depending upon age 3. Buy private/from dealer only with an independent inspection 4. If from a dealer, look at one with a good/prompt service reputation 5. Various elec 'toys' nice but not crucial (other than a descent CD/audio system 6. 'All elec' sounds the way to go, but again not essential 7. Will probably buy from a Texas or Florida dealer mainly due to choice & experience of selling to overseas customers (registration etc.) - plus both a practical to get to from the UK 8. Buy using an LLC. - Worth looking at I believe? 9. Look at 'home' state for insurance purposes. Have I missed anything? However, what I would really like to hear from people about and I know they are personal opinions, is for a given price, what are the advantages of new vs. used? I know in the UK, my caravan (trailer) from 2006 is far more solid than anything from the last couple of years in the same price bracket. As you can guess, you can't see build quality from a glossy brochure. Entegra owners do seem pleased with their rigs though. (Unlike quite a few Fleetwood Charleston owners I have seen comments from) Assuming I was buying tomorrow, I am talking about say a 2007/8 Rambler/Newmar/Monaco vs. a new Entegra. My budget is around $175k-$250 at todays prices. The opinions I have read so far seem to say build quality is better/more solid for the older models, but newer models other than perhaps looking more modern have more updated electronics/toys etc. Also, I realise all coaches are going to depreciate, but like cars, is the biggest hit in the first 2/3/4 years? Again, thanks in advance for any help or opinions anyone has. They really would be appreciated. (Apologies for the long post as well)

My wife and I are stuck between the Entegra Anthem vs. The Allegro Bus. We need and respect the help of those who know about the two products. I have asked several shops about quality of the Tiffin vs. Entegra and they all have said go with the Tiffin product. Truthfully, they make Bob Tiffin sound like a saint. We’re hoping to reach out and get input from others that have gone thru this process and can share your experiences (good or bad) with us. Also, information on the Spartan Chassis vs. the Power Glide Tiffin is using would be appreciated. We are hoping to get information on current models 2013 and newer. Thanks in advance for your input.

Currently own a 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor (38'/2 slide/330 Cummins/8 bag Roadmaster). Looking for advice from all of your on our next coach. We are primarily 3-4 day weekend RV'ers as we both work, with typically a couple of two week trips each year. We are out at least 2-3 weekends a month in the coach and live in Oregon so would like to be able to use the coach year-round. Happy with our coach but would like (1) smoother ride and better handling, (2) more room with extra slides, (3) aqua hot or system that would give us more flexibility in the winter, (4) layout with 2 euro chairs & flatscreens. Here are the type of coaches we are looking at (primarily to get better insulation and Spartan chassis): Newmar Ventana/Dutch Star, Country Coach. Would LOVE an Entegra Aspire, but that will have to wait a few years as our price range needs to be under 200k. I would love to your advice on what coaches you think we should explore further...or are we already on the right track? I would also like your advice on aqua hot or not for winter camping (winter here means no lower than 25 in the winter) and LP versus diesel fired Aqua Hot? Thanks in advance.....love to hear from the experts on this board!
