I think what I'll do next is compare:
1. A model with the closest floorplan to what I want, and
2. A model highly rated by the RV Consumer Group.
(I don't think #1 and #2 will be the same.)
Then I'll scrutinize the make, specs and quality of the chassis and running gear on both. That ought to at least resolve many of the questions I have.
Then I need to look at wall systems and roofs. While I understand that water intrusion is a huge issue, my sense is that has less to do with the type of wall system than with how well the roof and shell overall are put together. Since I plan to have a roof-top deck added, I assume I'll essentially be re-roofing the unit.
This sound right so far?
