When it's time to take charge of your life and hit the road, the new Diplomat LE puts you firmly in control of your destiny. Not to mention your motorhome. The custom-tuned suspension on your Roadmaster chassis lets you handle with confidence the worst the road can give you. The gutsy 330-horse Cummins diesel gives you the power you need to hold your own on the interstate with with 40 feet of motorhome and up to 10,000 pounds on the hitch.

If you've always regarded driving as a chore, Diplomat LE is here to change your world. And make driving a thrill.

And check out the cockpit! Electronic shift and throttle controls give you instant, reliable response. Read-at-a-glance analog gauges are perfectly placed in the rich burlwood dash. Everything's at your fingertips from leveling controls to the AM/FM/CD player to the video rear vision system. To give you the perfect driving position: optional six-way power seat, tilt telescoping wheel, and brake and accelerator pedals that adjust to your legs at the touch of a button.

Monaco Coach changed the world of motorhomes a couple of years ago when we introduced the flush-floor kitchen Suite Slide. Opening up the entire living and dining section of the coach, the suite slide gives you the true luxury of space in a revolutionary way. There's not step-up to trip over. And whether the slide-out is in or out, all the appliances work, all the storage is reachable, your coach is fully livable. And what a life! Seven gorgeous decor schemes coordinate with the fully painted exterior, including two Ralph Lauren fabric package choices.

If the point of travel is adventure, it's also a time to let go, lay back and luxuriate. Diplomat LE caters to your every wish. With deeply comfortable furnishings. Fine Hardwoods and exquisitely crafted cabinetry. And every detail thought out for your convenience by designers who have spent years seeking out the opinions of Monaco's most experienced owners.

Galley and bath floors are ceramic tile. Living room and bedroom have beautiful, functional day-night shades. The ceiling is sound-absorbing, easy-to-clean, soft-touch vinyl. Diplomat LE gives you plenty of ways to option your interior for the way you live. Including five cabinet finishes. A leather J-lounge. A computer table. Fabric and leather recliners. Leather-faced cockpit seats.
