One thing that I would suggest with any coach that you're interested in purchasing, let someone else drive while you wander around the coach listening to noises. We rode in a fairly new American Eagle, and a 20+ year old Newell, bought the Newell because it was SUBSTANTIALLY quieter. To me frame rail vs. monocoque isn't even a question...go with the monocoque or semi-monocoque every time.
