In 1999,  The Diplomat made its auspicious debut. And it immediately started people thinking a new way about diesel
motorhomes. With engineering excellence and design extras usually found in more expensive motorhomes, people were asking who
created such a vehicle. Few were surprised the name was Monaco. Since that time, the Diplomat has convinced first-time diesel
motorhome buyers that the journey from ordinary to extraordinary is well within reach.

If you are looking for the ultimate in comfort while on the road, then the Class A Motorhome is for you. It has all the amenities of home in a self-contained unit. With features like a big refrigerator, oven/microwave, TV/VCR (2 in most units), satellite dish, bath facilities, bigger batteries, large water and holding tanks, generous propane supply, on-board generator and ample living space, the livability of a larger Class A is exceptional. These features also make these units especially good for "dry" camping, where hookups are not available.
