Entry level vs high end

I agree 100% on looking past the "bling"...and I failed to mention the most important issues in my original posting. 25+ years ago when we first started shopping for 5th wheels, if it didn't have 16" wheels/ tires, We never even looked at it. That was a good indication of the manufacturer's integrity of construction. The 16" 's meant larger axles/brakes, which likely indicated a heavier frame. If the manufacturer couldn't supply r-values, We moved on! No insulated/heated underbelly with inclosed plumbing/dump valves...We moved on! And.... We looked at weight. You can't build a really strong unit and build it really light...Unless you can afford a titanium frame constructed unit ;)! We wanted a "true" 4 season unit!!!

Then...you go to the inside,solid wood, dove-tailed drawers, carpet weight/quality, counter top material, shelving strenght, dual pane or storm windows (helped with cooling/heating and minimizes outside noises),porcelain tolet. Then look at fit and finish of the "woodwork", quality of mitered joints and finish of the woodwork. These were but of a few things that a high end unit should have.

Soooo.... just because it has a high price tag, it doesn't mean that it's quality.

You can paint and chrome plate a pig....But it's still a pig!! :(
