Welcome, Michele.
For the most part, I've heard fairly good of the Denali models, but if you plan on full-timing, you really want to check out such things as the frame size, axle capacities, and wheel and tire sizes and ranges. I did notice on the Denali website that they are listing a 13.5K btu air conditioner instead of a 15K and they also list a 30,000 btu furnace instead of a 42,000 btu unit. It might be a good idea to look at an RV closely if you plan on full-timing.
Feel free to ask questions as we all tend to learn from each other here. Even some of us "old-timers" keep learning as we go.
Glad to have you as part of the family.

Thanks for the comments. what we're looking at is the 262rlx luxury package. has 15btu option, duel pane windows, 50 amp, auto jacks and back up camera, just to name a few. we look to be semi full timming, and this size fits our comfort zone, we have never required lot's of space. we did get a chance to visit with the denali rep here in Reno, and walked away feeling very good about our choice. we continue to search for "anyone" who curently have a denali. Also is there a Dutchman owners club? we've looked all over, and have yet to find one. Cheers, and thanks again!!

Michele,
Here is a link for a Dutchman's owner's forum. If nothing else, you can read through and see what everyone is saying about their units. However, keep in mind that on many owner's forums, a lot of the folks are looking for answers to problems, but that there may be a lot more folks who aren't having issues and have never joined the forums. Just because one hears of problems doesn't mean they are bad units.
hi Terry, thanks for the link. saw a few with the denali, most input is for the infinity. seems to me, that most problems are minor, and with any coach, fit and finish seems to be the biggest complaint. i see on those "other" forums, people are asking too, "where are all the denalis"!! i'll continue the search, and keep enjoying rv dreams.. michele
