Gaylene and Rick... I'll post pics just as soon as I get the coach. I'll pick it up at the factory in Oregon first week of April. I just heard this morning from the salesman that it will come off the assembly line on March 15th. I'm sure that date can change somewhat but I can't pick it up until early April......so, I guess anticipation is part of the fun!
Happy Motorhoming... Mark

To help, we need to know a couple of things..
1) how many miles??
2) how much are they asking for the unit?/

Hey Wogburn, we purchase a 2005 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 36D, new in Feb 2006. It is 36 ft, 8.1l GM gas motor, with full wall slide and second smaller bedroom slide. Coach rides very well with no flex. I dont think any of them do the way they are built. Technology has come quite away since the first slides were introduced. All mechanicals are pretty much made by HWI. They produce a majority of slide out components for much of the RV industry. Both slides on this unit are electric with servo locking motors on the full wall slide to lock it in place during travel. We have had the coach to Bristol TN for both NASCAR races, Charlotte NC, St. Louis MO, and Pipe Stem WV. Besides that most every weekend from March to Dec. Not full timing yet but working toward that goal. We love the openess of the full wall slide and recommend it to anyone wanting the additional room. Everyone has there own preference, but for us we would buy another. Would even consider a coach with full wall slides on each side. Bet that wont be far away for the RV industry. We have RV'd from an 18 foot pull behind to a 32 foot fifth wheel. So, far we really enjoy the class A. The Pace Arrow is hard to beat in its class for what all it is equiped with. Best advice I can give is check out more than one full wall slide coach, look at as many as you can before settling on one.

Nice job on the post! I wish I could have read it before I just bought my RV this week. Although, I see your point exactly. I would say that Need and Budget are absolutely what drives getting the RV. Sometimes you have to just look for the amenities you would like and then settle for what you can afford along with it. I just got a 1983 El Dorado with Chevy 454 that litteraly screams down the road if you let her out. My wife and I call her The Beast![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin") We plan on taking it back East to St Louis this summer to see my wife's Mom and Dad. The Beast is really a fixer-upper, as you can imagine. But she does have a newly rebuilt engine and tranny. Should be fun fixing her up and making her our own. The layout is how we wanted it, so now we have the pallet, time to start in on making it exactly what we want as budget can afford.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink") ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool")

Beastowner... I know you will have a wonderful time in the motorhome!
What irks me is when I read about people who have fancy motorhomes and people with older motorhomes or tents feel like the guy in the big diesel pusher is being snobby.
I just purchased a new 2008 Monaco Dynasty, 42 ft, 4 slides because that's what I wanted and could afford.
I am just as excited for people who are having a good time in a tent, older camper or whatever they have. I would be embarrassed of someone thought that I was being "uppity" because I bought a large A-class.
I read something that made a lot of sense on these forums.... The sunsets, mountain views and state parks are just as beautiful whether you are in a class-A or in a sleeping bag!
Have fun and hope to see folks with all types of camping gear along the way!
My new coach will be ready mid March with an early April pick-up at the factory.

I WAS JUST TOLD ABOUT THIS SITE FROM ANOTHER SITE I AM REGISTERED WITH.
I AM GOING TO RETIRE AROUND AUGUST OR OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR AND AM GOING TO SELL EVERYTHING WE OWN AND MY WIFE AND I WANT TO BUY A CLASS C MOTORHOMES AND GO FULL TIME ON THE ROAD. WE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE AND HAVE TRAVELED IN SMALLER VEHICLES,BUT NEVER HAVE HAD A RV,YET. I JUST READ A ARTICLE ON THE 2007 TIFFIN ALLEGRO 34TGA WITH FRED.
I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE ARTICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD EXPERIANCE WITH THIS MANUFACTURE AND WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE???
BY THE WAY, JOHNNY T, THANK YOU FOR THE ARTICLE. I FIND IT HELPFULL,BEING A 55 YEAR OLD ROOKIE.
I WANT TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE ON THIS. WE HAVE THOUGHT OF BUYING ONE THAT IS USED,BUT THIS ALLEGRO FOR 2007 SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE PUTTING A LOT OF THINGS INTO THIS MODLE THAT WOULD BE OPIONAL WITH MOST OTHERS I HAVE RESEARCHED. ANY INFO ON THIS WOULD BE APPRECIATED .
I HAVE TONS OF QUESTIONS AND ONLY SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS TO GET READY. WE WANT TO BE ON THE ROAD BUY OCTOBER AT THE LATEST. MUCH TO DO...
