Inside the Suit of Armor
The 2011 Monaco Knight
Josh Ciernia from Monaco gives Better RVing.com readers a personal walk through of the new 2011 Monaco Knight. Built from the ground up, this coach is sure to leave an impact.
Correction: When Josh Ciernia stopped by BetterRVing.com, we asked him to give us a quick sneak peak into the new 2011 Monaco Knight. On the way, we grabbed our handheld video camera to capture and share with our readers. Be on the look out for a complete write up from BetterRVing.com.

I agree Presentation and attitude is weak, 75% of my choice in a Coach is the exterior design and appearance, and the cockpit seats, also Monaco do this again, for a more positive result to sales, because this is not it.

I love my older Monaco Dynasty and I probably will trade up to a new or newer Monaco product. However, I have to admit this video is poorly done and I am surprised it s being used.

The only person who did a lousier job was the cameraman. Makes me want to buy another brand.

Monaco didn t do it self any justice with this.... Maybe Monaco did not put this together. ummmmm .. Maybe Tiffin or Winnebago did.. Happy w/my 08 Safari Cheetah.. Monaco needs to remove this video from the public... I rate it H Horrible

We just traded a 2008 Monaco Cayman in for a Tiffin product. Check out their comments that they post online. After all the problems, NEVER a Monaco again

Was this his first day on the job? Certainly, this must be a joke, as Monaco can t be serious about selling this motorhome with such a sorry presentation.

Now that I know the whole story I,ll run right out there and buy one. NOT!!!!!

That guy is a joke. Advertise the unit and its features. All this AD did was convince me that Monaco is going in the wrong direction.

Yes, this is a walk through! But of what? All work! Cabinets, counter, fridge, washer/dryer! OK - as usual, the advertizing staff has never spent a night, nor travelled a mile in a coach get real! Where is the fun??? do you even get to sit??

my 2008 holiday rambler endever has went on fire twice. thay left the masking tape on the fridge vent causing carbinmonoxing to enter the coach .it has been to monaco florida 4 times would he like to make walkthrough vidio of that. to show the faults

what a loser ! where did this joker come from? if you want to sell a coach show the coach not the salesman . there is alot more to see than that. Missed all important items, maybe he should have noted - How not to sell a Monaco Knight.

Buy yourself a pre-owned like new Bluebird. Absolutely bullet proof, solid, safe, and comfortable. My 1994 has been repair free for over 6 years of full timing now and still looks almost new. A 2000+ LXi can be had for cheap.

Very poor video. 58 seconds tells you nothing!!!!! If the NEW Monaco wants to get back on top.... this is a very poor way to start. I have a Monaco & have had very few issues with it. Try a PDF file that fully decribes the unit.

Armor,same old Monaco, should have stated a suit of tin. If you want to sell RV s get rid of this guy and hire an ad team that knows what to do
Dave (Lusby, MD)

This was a pretty lame advertisement - I am is sales and this comes across as an example of how NOT to market an RV. It did nothing to create any interest in this product and misses the mark on answering many obvious questions about this model.. BAD

Way too short intro. And if you want call s, post a price

We started RV ing w/a new 2001 Knight-The roof leaked, check brakes lite came on, air bag suspension broke, water lines broke, tires had diff. sets of ball bearings,You left out the 12 v plug-in!,window visor fell off,it was junk and we quit RVing!

After my experience with Monaco and my 2008 Holiday Rambler, there will not be another Monacao product in my driveway.

I agree w/other comments. Very poor intro of a new coach model!! I have had 3 Monacos and unlikely that I will buy the 4th from Monaco the way they are going. Bring back the old days but get rid of Toolson

Way too short, we as consumers want to know whats in the motorhome? Yes 350 HP but what else, slides etc etc.....come on lets get a sales team!

After what Monaco did to their customer base I wouldn t buy another Monaco. If Monaco gave one to me I d sell it for cash.

I agree, show us real advancement. Composite frames, new lightweight & strong materials and electric drive can offer us 20 mpg. I don t care so mch about solid wood doors - make all cabinets out of composite and save hundreds of pounds

You didn t show us enough on the video of the coach - what happened to the bathroom, the kitchen table, the driver and passenger s seat, etc., etc. I am sorry but you did not do the refrigerator justice either. You need to open it!!
Dan (California)

Video was dark & fast. He should be just audio. Take time to show new or special features of the coach. Mfg s are still using old technology. Old coach has most of the same technology. Wow me with electric drive, solar, computer system control, 3D TV

The poorest introduction to an RV I ve ever seen. Is there something around the corian and stacked washer/dryer. I bet it doesn t have a john.
Ivan (London England)

Not very good ! what about the rest of the vehicle, I could have done better myself.
