Kirk W Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Welcome to the forums! Good to have you with us. They have a pretty good reputation. Since the RV is now 8 years old the condition is everything but since you are certified to inspect it, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimalberta Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nothing wrong with a Cummins engine....do you know which engine it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana25k Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 If its well cared for and maintained then your Cummins will run for years. As for Monaco they have a great reputation. The 2006 thru 2008 years had some issues due to rushed production but I would think they are probable worked out by now. Do your due diligence and have the chassis inspected by a reputable diesel shop with oil & tranny fluid analysis. Call Monaco and they will send you a build sheet, possible schematics etc. Their tech support people are very knowledgeable and so helpful.

63belv Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Monaco did have some frame issues, trailing arms plus other things. Be sure check recalls on NHTSA. When Navistar owned them they did not take on the liabilities so recalls were not covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
