Congratulations on your discriminating taste. Your decision to purchase a new Monaco motorhome shows you have done your research. You know Monaco is a well-respected brand in the luxury coach industry. Still, buying a new, high-end RV can be daunting. Let our buying guide help you with the process.

Perhaps the most important aspect of buying a new Monaco RV is working with a reputable dealer. Most major cities have at least one RV dealer that offers new Monaco coaches for sale. You can use the search feature on our main page to locate the Monaco dealer nearest you or to request information. The dealer's knowledgeable sales staff can answer all the questions you have about buying a new Monaco RV. In fact, you can rely on the highly trained staff at your RV dealership to help you with all aspects of buying a new Monaco gas rig or diesel pusher.

Before you start shopping for a new Monaco luxury coach, you need to determine what type of power plant is right for you. Monaco makes both gas-powered and diesel motorhomes. When it comes to "gas vs. diesel," there is no right or wrong answer. Your choice will largely be a matter of personal preference. However, diesel engines are more powerful, which can be a consideration if you plan to tow a heavy vehicle or boat with your new Monaco motorhome. Your Monaco dealer will be happy to help you sort out which type of engine will be best for you.

Visiting RV dealerships will not only help you get a good understanding of what's involved with owning a motorhome, but you'll also get a good idea of prices. Budget is a major consideration when it comes to buying a new RV. Experts recommend that you consider how often you'll be using your new RV when you create your budget. As a rule of thumb, the more often you'll use it, the more you should consider spending. However, if luxury appointments and top-of-the-line styling are important to you, then you will want to create a budget that accommodates these needs regardless of how often you expect to use your new Monaco motorhome.

When shopping, ask your sales person about the "total cost of ownership" for specific units. This figure will include items like sales tax, registration, rough insurance costs, expected routine maintenance costs, and so on. Also, don't forget to factor in the cost of storage if you're unable to store your new luxury coach at home.

Once you've narrowed your choice to a handful of models, start looking at individual units with an eye for livability. Does the floor plan accommodate your needs? Is the galley large enough? Is the bed comfortable? Can you close the door when you're inside the bathroom? Can you fit comfortably inside the shower?

You should be able to find a Monaco coach that meets your personal livability test. In fact, the most discriminating buyers choose Monaco motor homes precisely because of the livability factor. Amenities such as Corian countertops, refrigerators with ice and water on the door, Bose Wave sound system and multiple slides configured to maximize living space are hallmarks of Monaco luxury coaches. Still, because Monaco offers an array of floor plans and decors to choose from, be sure to experience as many of them as you can in order to decide which one best meets your needs. After all, you plan to be spending a lot of time in your new Monaco RV. You want it to be as comfortable and functional as possible.

Finally, you should always spend the night in your chosen RV before buying it. This is standard practice in the RV industry, so don't be shy about asking your dealer about doing so. Buying a new motorhome or travel trailer is a major investment, so taking it for a "test sleep" before buying is good insurance.

Buying a new RV can be a wonderful experience. Just remember to work with a reputable dealer in your local area, do your own research on RV types, and perform a rigorous livability analysis on your top three models. If you do, you're certain to discover a new Monaco motorhome that fully lives up to your expectations.
