We are trying to choose between a 1987 PT-40 listed on the for sale page for $59,500 or a 1993 listed with bird connection.com for $119,900. The drive trains seem to be very similar but the newer coach has all the bells and whistles. My main objective is to have the most dependable coach that will hold up for the next twenty years. The question is - would I be better off buying the older coach and putting another 15 to 20k into it or just buy the newer unit. I don't want the bells and whistles if they are going to drive me crazy with problems.

Ken, If I was to buy a coach, there is a 98 available for the price of that 93. It is at the Motorhome Specialists in Alvarado, Tx. A friend I know has driven that coach and it drives out great. If I had that money, that would be my new coach. You get a Series 60 engine and a widebody to boot. Good luck, keep us posted. Ernie

I have sent an email to MHS to see if I could get some pictures of the coach. Thier web page shows a 99LX for 129K. I think the LX comes with a Cummings M11. Is this better or worse than the Series 90 DD?

Ken, I thought that the BMCs had the Cummins engine. The Wanderlodges have the series 60. I would not be afraid of either engine.
