Thanks for the comments, everyone. As of June 2020, we are owners of a 2005  Country Coach!
Drove it, pulling our Wrangler toad, cross country on my maiden voyage. Lots to learn!

I need to get under my new-to-us 45ft class diesel pusher to replace a device. Being a total newbie, everything is new and unfamiliar, and I don’t want to assume anything. Seems logical to use chocks and something to keep coach from dropping on me. However, a web search turns up nothing about chocks for any motor home, much less one as large and heavy as mine. 

What safety precautions do you take before crawling under a coach?

A check of Lazy Days and La Mesa found some very negative experiences of buyers after their purchases.

Pedata lacks the coaches I'm seeking (right now, anyway) but I'll keep checking back.

Wife and I did look at Newmar because of its fine reputation and longevity, but haven't seen a floorplan we liked.

This newbie and wife plan to retire shortly, and after ~2 years of window shopping, reading, and learning, I feel ready to take the plunge & buy my first-ever RV. My goal is a high-quality and well-maintained diesel pusher with tag axle that will allow us to comfortably & reliably travel the continent full-time.

Given that I plan to attend the Boot camp in Tucson next month and will be staying in Tucson through Monday, it seems a great opportunity to look for the coach we're seeking.

I have narrowed the search to American Coach, Beaver, Country Coach, and Foretravel coaches, and would value your suggestions on where/how to look for them in the Tucson area.

Can you suggest any trustworthy dealers, and identify those dealers which are best avoided?

Do Escapee owners with coaches for sale typically come to a Boot Camp? To a Rally?

Thanks for your feedback
