1998 Monaco reviews

The Signature by Monoco is top of line with quality, ride, stoping and reliablity. My coach is 16 years old and is still as tight and quit as new. The ride is fantastic, the performance great and solid wood cabinets and like new. Corin counter top show no wear and no cracks. This is an expensive coach but it is at great buy. Over the years nothing major has gone wrong just the little things that pop-up now and then. My wife loves the layout and we find it great for traveling. We never stayed more than 2 weeks in the coach so I don't no if it would make and good coach to live in for extended period. I would buy a Monaco coach again. Show less

I love this big boy due to health problems must sell. We tow a trailer with a smart car on it and never know it is there. The trans mission has a gas saver mode we learned not to use that when you are driving on the road, makes the motor home go very slow. The wind is a little bit of a challenge but can be dealth with. We have gone thru Wyoming several times. WE lived in the motor home for 3 weeks on one trip with no problem at all. One week was in a relatives yard so the generator was on the whole time. It was summer and the air conditioning was also on the whole time as well as the refrigerator. Used less than half a tank of diesel but a little more than a quarter tank. Generator runs off the main tank but will not work unless there is more than a quarter of a tank. Not to worry about running out of fuel out in the boonies. The slide makes all the difference in the world as far as comfort goes. We travel with 2 dogs and we all have plenty of room. It has new flat screen TV's so when the weather is bad their is entertainment. We use walkie talkies to park with because the cell phones don't have reception. This works well. It is comfortable to drive with many positions of the seat and sterring wheel. Air conditioners are very effective, and the heat works well when it is cold. I did add extra insulation in the form of a sleeping bag 0 degree stapled to the plat form where the bed is. It opens up to the engine and the cold seems to come up that way and freeze your behind. The sleeping bag and memory foam mattresses took care of that. It was alot of work to set up when we first purchased the rig but with each improvement it is now a snap. I have 2 sewer hoses so if the hook up is far away it will still reach. Both have connections that are easy to use. I have 2 white water hoses with quick connects for the same reason. I have a blue hose for cleaning out the blackwater tank so the white hoses don't get contaminated also equipped with quick connects,It has a 50 amp electric cord with 30 amp adapter which we have had to use mostly in state and federal parks. All parking spaces are not created equal. The outside has a shower as well as some plugs and the storage unit goes all the way under the rig plus has a slide out tray. The auto stairs are the best. The one down side I have noticed is that it gets messy really easy if you don't put things right away. The learning curve takes a minute so that you can make everything work but everything does work.
