History of Kenai Coach.

Terry and Kellie Smith became RVers in 1995 after selling their home and business in Springfield Oregon and hitting the road full time. After much research the Smiths decided to buy a well cared for pre-owned higher end side radiator diesel pusher instead of buying a brand new lower end diesel rear radiator diesel for the same amount of money. They traveled from Mexico to Alaska visiting friends and relatives, sightseeing, and doing volunteer work along the way. Even though the Smiths thoroughly enjoyed this experience for five years, they could not pass up the lure of Alaska. After visiting in their RV for 3 summers and staying in multiple locations across Alaska in their motor home, the Smiths decided to settle down on the Kenai Peninsula and built a home on the world famous Kenai River in Soldotna Alaska. The Smiths sold their coach in 2000 and got the majority of the money back that they had paid for it because most of the depreciation had already occurred before they bought it. Had they bought a new coach it would have depreciated approximately 50% within five years. Terry started searching for and buying pristine diesel coaches similar to the one they had previously owned themselves and brought them up to Alaska to sell over the summer months after having them thoroughly checked over, serviced and upgraded. The name chosen for the dealership was naturally "Kenai Coach".

Since RV sales in Alaska were limited to five months (May thru Sept) due to the cold, ice and snow, the Smiths opened a motor home dealership in Yuma AZ. For the winter months (Nov thru April). This consisted of some of their own coaches as well as many consignments including Prevost Bus conversions, Newells, Country Coaches, Monacos, Beavers, as well as many other brands of high end coaches. In the fall of 2008 the Smiths were just getting ready to open the Yuma lot for the season when the economy crashed. It was decided at that time to scale down and no longer sell coaches in Yuma AZ but concentrate on finding and buying coaches only for the Alaska dealership. In January 2016, after 17 wonderful years in Alaska, Kenai Coach decided to relocate to Junction City Oregon 15 miles from where Kellie and Terry both lived prior to Fulltime RVing. Due to the name recognition from 15 years in the industry it was decided to keep the name "Kenai Coach" and incorporate so the name is now "Kenai Coach Inc".

About Kenai Coach.

Kenai Coach buys and sells Preowned high end CLEAN WELL CARED FOR side radiator diesel motorhomes that are in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION. Because of the collapse of the economy in 08 and the negative impact it has had on the quality of most of the RV Manufacturers as well as the new emission regulations affecting the newer diesel engines, our specialty is 2008 and older Country Coach and higher end side radiator Monaco products (that includes Beaver and Holiday Rambler). We also occasionally buy and sell Prevost, Foretravel, Allegro Bus, and upper end Newmar products. These are the years (in our opinion) when the quality of these coaches were at their peak. Kenai Coach also takes trade ins. An example of some of the items we have taken in on trade are Harleys, pickups, fifth wheels, trailers, cars, boats, gas and diesel motorhomes. We prefer to purchase our coaches outright from the previous owners but will occasionally take on a consignment. By purchasing the coach outright we have total control to do whatever we think needs to be done to the coach before selling it so that we can make sure our customer's coach buying experience is a good one. We have the engine, chassis, and generator inspected and serviced, appliances checked out, coach detailed inside and out, and make sure the batteries and tires are fresh. We also can guarantee that all systems are working properly at the time of purchase and encourage our customers to stay a couple of days to familiarize themselves with all the systems and make sure we did not miss anything before they leave. We can also arrange to have custom modifications done to the coach to suit the buyers' wants and needs.

At Kenai Coach you are dealing directly with the owners of the company. We have no sales staff. As such it is important to make an appointment for viewing our coaches as at times we are at RV shows, picking up coaches from around the country or delivering coaches for service. The majority of our customers come from out of state looking for the types of coaches we specialize in. We have personally driven most of our coaches 500 to 1000 miles delivering them to our Junction City location or to RV shows. We also provide phone support 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm for all of our customers that own the coach they have purchased from us.

We have many coaches in stock not yet online and sell quite a few before we are able to list them. Let us know what you are looking for and we will call you when it comes in.
