We are saw a National Dolphin class a for sale that the wife wants to look at, I have not saw any of them before in our area (Iowa) was looking for input on good vs bad and overall quality from this maker. It is a 2005 under 40000 miles 8.1 engine. Thanks

As a former Airstream,Fleetwood,Newmar,Jayco and National dealer for over forty years I'm still amazed when i come upon a National product. Overall they just seem to hold up and look better then any other mfg. out there for the age of the coach. That was part of Nationals demiss back in the day they were way better built than the compitition both in construction and style and at the same price points. My one concern would be National built alot of there own components so if you damage say a compartment door good luck finding a replacement. Other then this I still hold a sweet spot for the National products.
