Damon, was recently told that the TRADEWIND coach was built on the Dynomax Chasis, and then cheaper end items installed to result in a sales price at $100K.
This was reportedly the closest one could get to a CC and was undoubtedly the greatest value for you money at $100K level>
Is this true? and who makes the TRADEWIND????
Sure appreciate a response damon

Hi,
I saw a Tradewinds LTC (by National RV) at LazyDays in FL last month. The National RV website advertises that it has a Country Coach Dynomax chassis. See

Just came from the FMCA convention at Pomona where I looked at the prototype of the Enspire. I was not "enspired". The outside looks like a National Tradewinds. The inside looks cheap compared with the Allure but then again the price was only $230,000 plus. They did have to cut some corners to make it that cheap or "an entry level Country Coach" as I was told. There are going to be some changes to the floor plan before they go into production in April or so. This from a factory rep. The interior height is about a foot more than other models. The exterior height is 12'9". The rear closet is not verry deep, about 6" deeper than a coat hanger. I looked at the wiring harness in the battery compartment and I did see some splicing which I don't think is being done on the regular line unless things have changed. The dash is vertical and plastic, not very appealing. There is a lot of plastic used in the front of the coach. The good part is that it is on a DynoMax chassis.
Was really surprised at the attendance. Heard there is only 2,600 coaches there Was told there were a lot of cancellations. Not a lot of activity, we only went for the day which was plenty.
