Did This 2003 Magna Survive 1900 Miles of US Higways?

[@dustup2249]

That's a shame Country Coach went out of business back in 2010. Those were the days before Thor came along and changed the RV industry for the worst.

[@JohnJohnson-hl1vi]

Just an unbelievable, beautiful video. Most of us will never make that drive, but we will live those thrills vicariously through your escapades. Thanks, James.

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@timaz1066]

I have put over 4000 miles on my 2000 Monaco dynasty this summer and most of that was within a month. I’ll add another thousand miles before I get down to Quartzsite for the winter. So I am sold on the older well built motorhomes.

[@bryancrowder6956]

Hey James if the RV service ever slows down I think you're a show-in at the Price is Rite! You're hand gestures are awesome. You might have to shave or at least trim the arm hair! Great video as usual!

[@JohnMcdermott-ho6je]

Always a treat to watch your videos. I noticed you remove the turntable from the microwave. We have the same issue but wife just wraps it in her dishtowel and leaves it inside until we get to campsite. 🙂

[@AZExpert]

Thanks for the tip!

[@iglapsu88]

Thanks James. Nice Journey! Very beautiful!

The best replacement cup holder for the worthless device on the left of the driver is the Suzo Happ brand Universal Multi Size Cup and Mug Holder. It fits in the same location ask the original and holds simply everything I've tried. I love it! (Amazon)

[@AZExpert]

Thanks for the info!

[@tommackay7433]

Looks like a fun drive to me.

[@edwardrock1666]

Great video! Wish I could afford a rig like that but a month ago I baught my first class a, a 2011 newmar baystar 2901. Love the newmar build quality and the roof is awesome. I only paid $15000 for this couch with 26,000 miles on it.

[@evanmitton5007]

Road trips are the best,thanks for sharing yours.❤

[@AZExpert]

Yes they are!

[@susanpiette7165]

Perfect James. Thank you

[@papabapyro]

yes it's been way too hot in AZ, I'm heading back to Fortuna Foothills ( Yuma ) arriving on the 15th of Oct. for the winter. Just hope it cools to 90 or less by then. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Cheers

[@nomadbiker4040]

Amazing how the landscape just keep getting more arid as you go out west

[@glennmacdermod2599]

Great video! We just got back from NC to Grand Canyon and back trip in our Country Coach, amazing trip

[@MR-gl1fs]

We love our country coach. It drives like a BMW.

[@treysuniverserv1576]

Beautiful coach! Every time I see you in one of these beautiful coaches I get tempted to change from our 25 foot travel trailer and Tundra setup. However, I love having our truck to explore when we get to our destinations and my wife loves not having to help me maneuver a large RV into tight RV spots. I really appreciate your videos!

[@kathyboshart7695]

Fun to see those on the road

[@bennerpi]

Beautiful video, love the scenery. We live in Ontario, Canada and travel each July to Eastern Ontario and Quebec's Eastern Townships. My Grantfather was American, he was born in Detroit, MI.

great video, music was excellent, enjoy the coming fall James.

Nice video complete with excellent music coupled with the awesome beauty our country provides. Thanks James...heading to AZ next month & looking forward to the journey even more now.

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ginasmith1152]

You drove within a mile of our house when you were on I-40 just east of Little Rock, Arkansas (MM 169). Beautiful Country Coach!

[@ginasmith1152]

*Edited to say "beautiful" instead of "because" ~ doh! 🙄 We currently own a 2003 Beaver Monterey Ventura III but would possibly consider a CC if we opted for a 40-42' with quad slides but ... we'd definitely try to find a Beaver Contessa, PT or Marquis first.

[@ricksworlddereaux2397]

I think bill Clinton..is the most famous Person..born there....🤔🇺🇸

[@zmotorsports62]

Looks like a nice coach. The wife and I just returned from a ~1500 mile trip in our 2003 Monaco Dynasty towing our Jeep JKUR and it makes me want a newer coach less and less with every trip and every mile. Love these older well made coaches.

[@goodoboytw]

Our Western Alpine drives and handles incredibly well also , Its a pleasure to drive in all terrain.

[@kirtsch8737]

As a long-time follower that loves your reviews, may I make a suggestion? If vehicles and 18-wheelers are passing you in the right-hand land consider speeding up or moving over.

[@AZExpert]

I will always put the safety of myself and the vehicle I am driving ahead of common road courtesy. I will trust others to do the same and will not drive their vehicles for them. As someone that has driven long RVs impatient drivers that go around before I have safe distance to move make decisions for me many times, road conditions make travel in the right lane dangerous, and constant lane switching is potentionally very dangerous in large vehicles with poor viewing. There are many reasons to travel in the left lane and it is not a special lane for important people or drivers especially from the interchange on the I40 from I240 which requires you to be on the left just before the Mississippi.

[@denisplante9635]

Another great video James…can’t wait to get my 2000 Affinity on the road…just few more must do’s before we take it on short road trip

[@barryjackson1401]

I have a 1998 Magna that looks good and is clean! but she needs to go to Oregon.....and be dialed in......She may be cleaner inside and out of any 98 today....maybe?....but I have a list of 12 things that need to be addressed atleast...but she stands tall boys!

[@deanron13]

Need someone to drive her?

[@VideoByPatrick]

What were the few technical issues ?

[@lukewaelderfuninthesun8310]

That is a nice drive when I approached the train I checked my miles see how it is

[@stuartstuart866]

James, I enjoy all your videos but more videos on smaller RV’s please.

[@lukewaelderfuninthesun8310]

And you're a lucky man yeah I watch a lot of videos you get to drive nice rigs even a allegro red

[@lutomson3496]

I would always contact you for an inspection you are very good as I bought an RV in your area Tucson that was a POS without an your inspection and am years later still paying the price...these older RV's though are not allowed at a lot of campgrounds..and the market has changed...like the black sheep... and 7.0 mpg no one wants when Im paying $4.39 per gallon for diesel...always enjoy your videos

[@RedgieKeller]

Nice road trip! I love driving across country, did it for 20 years and now retired I can do at my own pace in my American Dream. Have been eyeing a country coach magna a 03 for sale. I appreciate your input how it handled?

[@AZExpert]

That is awesome!

[@patbullard9276]

Assuming you might be going through Arkansas on the way to Phoenix in case you notice any leaves changing color it might not be because of fall. We have a lot of browning due to lack of rain causing early dormancy. Sorry, I commented before watching the entire video so I now know you did go through Arkansas.

[@ryanmercer7091]

Any chance you plan to put out a video on the 2008 Allegro Bus you inspected? I'm looking at a 2007 and a 2008 pretty soon and would love to see what you found on that one. Love the videos.

[@haziedabnuuy]

it is a very nice rv

[@arriagada1957]

I have the same issue with the cup holder ..is anything that you can recommend to buy online...i have a large coffe cup from dollar tree and i put my soda inside or foam cup ...

[@ryanh4889]

I think some of those magnas had the forward roof ac on an inverter circuit so you could run that while driving with the generator off.

[@ThePeopleVerse]

Outstanding. The only thing I would really want to know is... how much did you actually run the generator for a/c during that drive?

[@deniseagababian3697]

Great video how long did you take for the trip? Can I ask what your route was? I am heading that way soon from Michigan I do have a route planned out just curious what route you took. Thx!

[@korbelkiller7106]

Having trouble was bending the strips around the bunk got any suggestions?

[@dwightsmith5174]

Fess up, did you stop at Bucee's?

[@gtfg3800]

James, love your videos, especially as I am trying to learn enough to pull the trigger on one, but I have to ask, have you ever had a front tire blow out ? Had a coach pass me on the interstate a week ago doing a steady 84 mph pulling a full size pick up. I tried to catch up to see the brand but could not catch him & I drive for a living ! Anyway, the thought of wrestling with the steering wheel of a 60,000 lb. $300K coach going over 75 really scares me. Advice ?

[@AZExpert]

I do not like driving over 70mph with rvs

[@Technocrat.]

Nice RV. Which Dash Cam do you use?

[@ricardoescobar456]

The camera looks super nice. Also interesting on getting something like that.

[@AZExpert]

Its a Kenwood drva301w It was fairly cheap camera and is fine for travel and bringing into and out of all the different RVs. I don't think it is the best one out there, but it at least has worked for 2 years :)

What is the current market for used Class A RV? Seems like a huge added expense to buy an out of state unit and then pay for you to travel with it. How is that a good deal?

I love all your videos I have a 2021 allegro red 33 a l no dinette absolutely love it love you to inspection one day do you inspect the chassis I know not really but tell me hey you need this you need that
