| Re: Damon Tuscany luxury motorcoach | Ken C | My wife and I purchased an 09 model 4072 and we love it. Great ride back to KY from the NE last month. Looking fwd to our winter trip to CA. Tuscany is a great coach! |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Grandguy | never owned but like the coach chasi and engine. Interior design needs more options before it's my 1st choice. |
| Re: Damon Astoria class A motorhome | John Pickles | I am desparately looking for a 'green' vehicle. preferably with LNG power. Is it available. I can purchase an LNG 12 year old in NZ but would prefer to be more up-to-date model. I plan to drive it home to the UK, via. Australia, Asia. I currently live in Singapore. What an advert for Damon! |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Ron Carter | Don't believe what salesmen tell you, the Avanti is certainly no more noisy than any other motorhome in my experience. This is our third and our best. The Avanti is in a class of its own in my opinion. |
| Re: Damon Essence class A motorhome | Charles Cooper | I saw this at the Louisville RVIA show. Really liked it. Damon are really making nice coaches with fair prices. It didn't say anything about MPG. Same figure I guess - 7 or 8 mpg? |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | old traveler | I like what I see, but would like to hear from someone who actually owns one. I had a salesman tell me the engine is noisy. |
| Re: Damon Tuscany luxury motorcoach | Nelson family | we just bought a 2008 tuscany with 3 slides as our first coach!! it is beautiful!! anyone know how it rates to other manufacturers, like a monaco....our monaco salesman told us the damon wasn't as good quality, but we think he was just mad we didn't purchase from him!! any thoughts?... |
| 2001 Damon Challenger | James | i have a 2001 damon challenger with 41k and runs great for a 454 but what i don't like is i get a lot of air noise while driving and i can not cool the darn thing. we replaced the front windows $$$ helped a little but still can't cool with 15k unit...any suggestions?? |
| Re: Damon Daybreak class A motorhome | Bryan N | Really like the 3270. Looked at one today and it really is good. Seriously thinking about it. Like the simple floorplan it has everything we need. |
| Re: Damon Tuscany luxury motorcoach | PrairieDog | I love the floor plan of the 4076. I
like everything about it but the roof. It needs a one piece fiberglass
roof. I would also like to see the generator on a roll out slide up front. |
| Re: Damon Astoria class A motorhome | Drew | I can't comment on Damon quality, but the basement compartments are unusable with the slides out; I'd never get a floorplan with a split bath- leaving the shower in the hallway...bummer using it on a cold morning when you've got to heat the whole mh so you don't freeze. And what about being in a public viewing area? |
| Re: Damon Outlaw class A toy hauler | princess-bluey | My son says air lockers are better than limited slip diff.
Off on a tangent here, Flotex carpet is a hybrid between vinyl floor covering & carpet. It is mop-able carpet & feels like velour underfoot! It is used extensively in Australia in shopping centres & hospital wards etc... I believe it would make a valuable addition to any RV! |
| Re: Damon Outlaw class A toy hauler | princess-bluey | I like the new 3808, it's a good start! I'd like to see a standard King size bed, with plenty of room to walk around, plus a hard sided pop top over the loft bedroom for those of us with claustrophobia. I like the scorpian upgrade package. I'd also like to see more ground clearance & limited slip diff for the more hard to reach camping places, (like the Finke Desert Race!). Does it come in right hand drive for potential Aussie customers? |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | KP | I have heard that they are noisy and sluggish due to the front mounted motor. Our test drive seemed that way as well Anyone have any experience |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | RV.'er guy | Actual test fuel mileage was approx 14.3 mpg @ 55 MPH |
| Re: Damon Outlaw class A toy hauler | Jimmy K | We have a 2008 Damon Outlaw on a workhorse chassis and carry a Smart car. The loft bed arrangement is nice but I think I would also go for the optional garage bed lift if I was buying now. We've had very few problems. the ramp needed an early fix but no big deal and we had a few minor items on our first take back to the dealer. All fixed ok. Good deal. |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Mark | Never considered a Class A; my wife hates the idea - until she walked into the Damon Avanti. She's absolutely bonkers over it. We're seriously considering... |
| Re: Damon Avanti class A motorhome | Don | I love the Avanti. I had a Country Coach and told them several years ago they should make an upscale smaller coach. They didn't listen. |
| Damon Astoria class A motorhome | Barb | Really like this coach. As I'm writing this there's an Astoria parked next to us at a campground in CA. Really nice looking and the folks are real pleased. Wish we could afford to upgrade from our Southwind. Think it's good value. |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Debra | I love this motorhome layout. I saw it in Pennsylvania and have been trying to convince my husband that this is for us. He likes it too but says we have to wait until we retire. That'll be at least ten years but maybe I can work him round. |
| Re: Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome | Ken Hull | I'd like to see some actual fuel figures and test results. 70% improvement in fuel consumption seems difficult to believe. |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | Lou M | Since my last post we did run into a few problems with our '08 4055 unit. The original entertainment centers produced by Soundstream have a design flaw - high squeel when you run the fade from rear to front or mess with the balance. This may affect all units. They eventually replaced ours with the upgrade Jensen ASA model after 3 of the originals. New unit works great. Also, the bedroom AM/FM/CD unit will not receive AM without a loop antenna inside the coach. Complain & they will supply. |
| 2008 Damon Tuscany | speedy gonzales | i just recently purchased the 2008 damon tuscany model 4076, and i love the ride, the 360 hp diesel motor gives you plenty of power, i love the floorplan, but they need to balance the tires for a smoother ride. |
| Re: Damon Outlaw class A toy hauler | jonjo | I think Damon just keep getting better. By the way, I think the Outlaw is real nice. I looked at one today and just loved the loft bedroom arrangement. We have a toy hauler trailer but I'd love to trade it in for a Damon. |
| 2008 Damon Tuscany | Ellen H | I love the front kitchen and middle living area, esp when cooking outside and needing items from the kitchen and then there are grandchildren too in and out of fridgE... like the windows too, but would LOVE to have a KING size bed.. this is the ONLY drawback... let me know when this happens. Ellen H |
| 2008 Damon Tuscany 4055 | Lou M | Recommend Damon. We've had our Damon Tuscany 4055 for a month and find it fantastic! 2nd pusher we've owned & definitely the best! Great layout too. Damon customer service seems good to this point. |
| 2004 Damon Challenger | Brent Thompson | Have a 2004 challenger. Best motorhome I ever had. Very dependable. Problems with some electrical aspects during the warranty period but the warranty covered it all. Would recommend Damon. |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | Ken P | Ken P I test drove a 08 Tuscany and was very impressed but I presently have a fifth wheel and an 06 dodge truck that I need to get rid of. But my wife really likes the 4076 with the chairs |
| 2008 Damon Daybreak 3274 | Larry G | We have logged 10,000 miles on this 2008 35' Ford V10 powered Motorhome towing a 24' enclosed car trailer with no problems. We did re-enforce the rear frame for the hitch. The cruise control quit, but it was only a loose connection. It's a very adequate entry level RV. We get about 7 miles per gallon with the trailer hooked and average 65 mph. The interior is again very adequate. We like the layout and the wardrobe with lots of storage. The driver's seat is comfortable even after a 12 hour day. There's not anything negative that I can say when you take the price into consideration. So far it's been an excellent motorhome for the money. We purchased at Holman's in Batavia Ohio and would purchase from them again. Their service department is very good and accomodating. Any warranty issues were addressed immediately. The cruise control was a Ford issue. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2007 Damon Tuscany | Paul | I own a 5 slide 4055 2007 Damon Tuscany and I got to tell you it is beautiful and rides great. They truly steal all the looks with the full body paint and styling. |
| 2007 Damon Tuscany | Joe Bloss | I have a 2007 Tuscany. After 2 trips I like it more than I did when I purchased it. Great looking, everywhere we stop we have lookers. |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | Three Bears | I wonder why Carl M would never buy a motorhome with 5 slides. We currently have 4 in our diesel pusher and have no problems so wonder why he is against it. Good topic of offering a king size bed...aqua hot would also be a plus!!! I wonder also why they sell so cheap versus other manufacturers. We did own a gas model Damon (Intruder) and it seemed to be a nice coach before we upgraded to a diesel. |
| 2008 Damon Tuscany - floorplans | sonny | Good looking coach, nice amneties, but why no rear bath & 1/2 models. all single baths |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | connie | The Damon is for me. If I can find a reasonable trade for my 2005 Pace Arrow 37C I'll go for it. I think manufacturers are listening to what we want. Thanks RoTi. |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | Carl M | It sounds good and looks good. But what is reason they can sell it so cheap? You normally get what you pay for? Are they payings less for wages and parts than the other mfgs. I would never buy a motorhome with 5 slides. |
| Re: 2008 Damon Tuscany | John Howard | I test drove a Tuscany and was very impressed. The interior is even more beautiful than the pictures show. I'm used to driving a Beaver Marquis (new price more than twice the Tuscany) and I would say the ride and comfort of the Tuscany felt very good. I'm still thinking about making the change. |
| 1997 Damon Challenger | Dave | i own a damon challenger 1997 it is by far one of the best motor homes i have ever had.............very dependable |
| 2000 Damon Challenger | Darrin | I own a 2000 Challenger, has anyone else had problems with water getting in the intake while driving in heavy rain? The placement of the intake right behind the grill in front of the radiator allows rain to get into the intake and soaks the filter eventually killing the engine. I have had this problem twice, the new models have fixed this problem by adding a snorkle to the intake getting it out of the weather. Other than that I really like the Challenger. |
| 2000 Damon Intruder 349 | Lees | We own a 2000 Intruder 349. Also wouldn't go with anything else. A very classy Class A motorhome. Our unit actually has alot of upgrades and we have loved it and use it as much as we can and would purchase another in a heartbeat. Actually like the new 2007 Challenger 377. About time someone came out with an economical unit that allows separate living areas. Go Damon!! |
| 2003 Damon Intruder | Jud Garlock | Have owned a 2003 Damon Intruder since new, still has very low mileage and otherwise is in perfect condition. Both front captain windows manufactured by Atwood have leaked, since the coach was new. While under warranty, my dealer attempted repair, prior to going out of business, with no success. It is clear that these windows were defective from the start, and I now face aproximately $15,000 worth of repairs including wall delamination. I have written and spoke to both Damon and Atwood Corporations, who only say the warranty was 12 months, and refused to respond to my letter. Obviously, this is not a high quality coach or organization as represented. Would like to know if other owners have experienced a similar issue ??? |
| Re: 2007 Damon Challenger | pops | 2007 Challenger out once in cool fall weather, all walls had condensate running down. I did no cooking. Took to dealer and they replaced wrinkled wall covering, and reported that Damon said this was normal. Still trying to get something done to correct the problem. Was only out for a week when this happened
|
| Re: 2007 Damon Challenger | Nigel Cronin | I've had 3 Damons, a 2001 Challenger, a 2004 Challenger and a 2006 Ultrasport. Wouldn't go with anything else, Damon gives you the best bang for your buck. |
| 2006 Damon Ultrasport | Nigel Cronin | We've had 2 Damons prior to this one - a 2001 Challenger and then a 2004 Challenger. We've been very happy with Damon so when we decided we wanted a diesel we decided to go with the Ultrasport. Damons are great, you get the best bang for your buck. We've had a few problems but everyone has problems and the dealer fixed every one of them without any great time or difficulty. I think it is really important to buy from a good dealer. Would you buy from this manufacturer again? Yes. Rating 5/5 |
| 2007 Damon Challenger class A motorhome | Nicky Fry | We have a 2007 Challenger and it's a great coach. would recommend to anyone. Minor problems but Damon is really a cool company. We've had 2 RVs before this including a Fleetwood Southwind. Damon is the way to go. |
| Re: Damon Challenger | Sandy K | Have a 2000 Challenger Need to have the interior checked out where the ceiling seam is and the strip that hides the seam (it is coming away from the strip). And some other little items this rig was not really checked out when we purchased it. I like that it has 3 slide outs and room to move. What I don't like is the kitchen needs more cabInets for storage space and counter top to work on. I`d change the design of the kitchen in this model. And put and OUTLET towards entrance door (not at rear of 5th wheel). |
