Hello all ---
We are long-time Country Coach owners. We are currently in our fourth one, a 2003 42' Magna Resort, 505hp. C-12 Cat, 6-speed Allison, and every amenity imaginable. Our home is in Reno, NV, and we spend the worst of the winter months at our lot in Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs.
Two years' ago we traveled around the U.S. for 9000 miles, going through New England in the fall but visiting many other places on the way. We had our ups and downs and misfortunes as any of us who travel that far in a motor home do, but it was a trip we wouldn't have missed for anything. We have no good C.C. service facilities near where we live, so I have to resort to doing many of the repairs myself, and can give a certain amount of advice (hopefully good) to others in the same predicament. I'm a retired dentist, so, as you might imagine, I'm not usually satisfied unless things in our rig work correctly, and sometimes it takes a lot of work to get them that way. C.C. customer service is kind of spotty --- one time you'll get a good tech on the phone who really knows his stuff, and another time you'll get one who doesn't seem to know much. I have found that communicating with them online is more successful than on the phone, unless, of course, your ECM has shut you down on an offramp or something.
My wife and I are getting older, and are considering putting a 5th wheel (dirty word!) on the Palm Springs lot. However, we still want to travel the country in a Country Coach. If any of you have a 1994-1995 36-38'Magna, non-slide, mid-entry unit and would like to trade up to a larger coach, we would be interested in talking to you.
We had one like that two coaches ago, and it would be perfect for what we want to do now. I am not interested in just trying to sell our coach --- I want to make a mutually beneficial arrangement with someone who appreciates C.C. quality as we do, and who wants to trade up in such a way that a dealer doesn't make its $25-50,000 profit in the process.
I can't say enough about the Country Coach brand. We have had other kinds of motor homes in our 28 years of RVing, but we have always come back to C.C. They are innovative but also conservative --- when they get something good, they stick with it. They all have some problems, but when you have something that has all the systems you have in your house, and when all those systems have to be pushed along often bumpy highways at high speeds, by a very sophisticated propulsion system, why would you expect not to have problems now and again?
Anyway, Hello Everyone.
