2000 Monaco reviews

Owned the 2000 Monaco Dynasty Regent 40' Double Slide for 9 years (have previously owned a '98 Dynasty (no slide) also. Love the chassis for its 8 air bag driving habits and tremendous basement storage. The Cummins ISC 350hp is a great fit with the Allison transmission which matters as most trips require us climbing out of the Phoenix Valley typically north towards Flagstaff. The best part of the coach is just that, the coach works beautiful interior that features solid cherry wood cabinetry, plenty of windows and living space. The quality of the coach is why we have owned two Dynasty motorhomes. Also a fan of the full body paint, 1 piece windshield the fantastic capacity it has, from a 10K hitch to the 100 gallons of fresh water we can carry and a huge 110+ gallon fuel cell. The ability to be completely self contained is a huge plus if you want to avoid crowds which is easy with a diesel generator, gas furnace & cooktop AND a three way fridge so that you can truly be off the grid. Minor complaints are very few, wish the TV was mounted in the center, the ladder to get to the roof is about a foot to high for a short guy like me and it has an odd placement for the inverter controls -- extremely minor items. This coach has served us mostly on 1-3 week trips across the West but could easily be a full time rig (have experience with living in the prior Dynasty for 2 years). Would highly recommend this generation and model of Monaco Dynasty. If maintained they have many years of service ahead of them. Show less

Bought new in Fayettvile NC. Owned & full timed for 7 yrs. This RV was a POS. Slide leaked; engine vibration & loss of power combined with constant transmission problems. Extremely drafty, seasonally hot/cold when on the road, refer always blowing fuses... list was endless. Finally unloaded it in El Paso for half of what it listed for used. Good riddance. Monaco filed for bankruptcy shortly afterwards. Cant believe there still in business. Show less

The overall quality of construction is excellent. The Dynasty is far superior to the Windsor and is comparible to the Signature minus a few bells and whistles. The chassis construction is second to none in my opinion. This applies to the model year listed and I have no idea if the newer models are equally built since the company has gone bankrupt several times. Their customer service is also second to none.

This has been a very good vehicle. We have lived in it full time for 5 years and travelled over 25,000 miles. Love the floor plan as it has lots of windows. It also allows us to spend the night in rest areas and walmarts without putting the slides out. The pull through bays are fantastic. Power of the engine is sufficient even for steep mountains. The engine did have to have the exhaust brake fixed. We had to replace the toilet and the refrigerator. The front plexiglass protector was a hassle. Finally took it off since I had to undo 19 screws any time I wanted to get to the generator. Monaco has been fantastic about responding to email requests for information. Easy access to water, inverter etc. We really have enjoyed living in this unit. Show less

Bought it used and kept it 2 years. Drove like a dream. A little short on power until I added the power chip which made it run great. Plenty of power to tow our 2007 Chevy Trailblazer without even knowing it was back there. Would cruise the interstate without any effort, including a trip out west over the continental divide. Took long trips (1200-2000 mi) and short trips (15 mi) and everything in between. Cummins 5.9 ISB 275 hp (bumped to 335) is one sweet engine when teamed with the Allison MD 3060 6 speed transmission and Roadmaster Chassis. We had a few minor problems, which could be expected with a 14-15 yr old diesel pusher, but nothing serious. Ours was the 36B, which the wife decided was a little small for two large adults and three dogs, but it was big enough to suit me. Every thing worked smoothly and it was simple to set up and break down. Now looking for one just as good, but a little longer. Show less
