etcetera Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Looking for Dynamax Isata F-series, specifically IF-255, their smallest C class built on the F550 platform. It's 26' no slides. I think the ones in my price range will be around 10 years old. I realize they don't make it anymore and it has been replaced by Isata 5. what years did they make it in? The IF-255.rvtrader has nothing, any idea where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 The first link I found was copyright 2011 so, yeah, ten years old. another site showed it still available in 2014. I found a 2012 brochure with that model. Finding a real life one, though...

etcetera Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I found all that too, including the PDF from 2012 but still could not get a definitive idea when they were made, first year and last year. I did find a few 30' all over, with slides, in the 60-70K range, circa 2007. I think the smaller 26' should cost less, theoretically.

etcetera Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 The closest to F-series is the Isata 5 but it comes with a sticker shock. It's nice but I can get a nice E-450-based RV for a fraction of the cost. I think my budget allows something like a 2007-2010 IF255 series. It's the 26' Isata with no slides. The most plain-jane model they got. I don't care for slides so it works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcetera Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Here is an example of a 28' for $57,900: I think the smaller 26' with no slides and some other features of the larger models can be had hopefully in the 40K-50K range. https://www.smartrvguide.com/L48797888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcetera Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I want to find the IF-255 model. I wonder how many were made. Likely nowhere as many as by other brands. Found the 30' model in Montana, and it got sold. Wasn't what I wanted anyway, 30' and 2 slides. IF-255 is only 26'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
