Hi,

We went to look at the 2006 CC Inspire 36' quad or triple slide today at Qualcomm stadium and really liked it. We have also looked at American Tradition and Dutch Stars at different price points. We are looking for a good quality coach and wondered if folks with Inspires would give us feedback. We will take good and bad. Feel free to send us emails. We would appreciate all the info you have. We are also concerned about the service from dealers and CC since we figure we won't get a perfect coach....

We look forward to your responses and Thanks, Kathy

We have an 05 Inspire Genoa with the longer wheel base. We love the living spaces, the handling and the extra bay size and rear stateroom with an extra 12" in lenght. It is solid and performs outstanding for short rides as well as fulltime.

We have the 2005 Inspire 36' Siena with 4 slides. Now that we have worked out all the beginning issues, we really like it! We are currently at Big Bear Shores RV resort this week on vacation and are really enjoying the area and the utility of the coach. Space is very nice in these quad slides.

We will sell or trade our Inspire 36' at the first opportunity. The quality of the wood finish is great, but the design leaves much to be desired. Kitchen storage (canned goods) is poor. Bay storage is poor. Openings or access to generator and to the Cat are much too small. I didn't do my homework very well. Buy Monaco. GOOD LUCK Rod Inspire 36' 51372

I would tend to agree that the canned goods storage in limited in the kitchen due to the length of the coach but there are many storage cabinets above the drivers side to store items like that. The storage bay space is limited due to length but this is fairly obvious by inspection when purchasing. As far as access to the engine and generator it would be nice if the generator could roll out like some coaches but how often are you working on the engine and generator to feel the need to get rid of your coach?
It sounds to me that you selected the wrong size coach for your needs rather than the coach being the problem?

I'm in the process of getting a 2004 Inspire, so have not tried it yet, but there is (or at least used to be) available sets of gizmos which screwed to the roof of cabinets, then you slide the cans into them. Thus doubling your can storage (or adding can storage without significantly reducing other storage). Also, in 'my' Davinci floorplan, there are plenty of cabinets across from the kitchen area, and its probably a good idea to put half the canned goods on that side to balance the load anyway.
