Don't rely too much on many of the YouTube videos, Many of the video producers know as much about RV's as I know about the space shuttle. I've watched a few, and was amazed at their ignorance,
Also, getting a new "really good " quality rv is going to be difficult! With the exception of a few manufacturers, you're pretty much stuck with....poor, fair, and at best good. Most of the "truley" quality RV manufactures went under since around 2007/08, with the ecomomic downturn and market demand. Simply put....most wanted inexpensive (cheap) RV's, and the market is loaded with exactly that! Back in the 90's, quality units started at around $70 K, and went up from there. So....when you factor in inflation, you'll get an idea what a "quality" RV would cost you today,
Someone mentioned weight....lightweight and true thru and thru quality, do not come in lightweight packages,.
This may seem harsh, and I'am sure that I hurt some feelings, but buying and being "extremely" disappointed will certainly hurt your feelings....and your checking account,
If you do not have unlimited funding and want quality, "new" is a "tall order"! As someone mentioned....used. Ask,research, and use your best judgement. Many do not want used,but, there are many high quality,used units out there less expensive than a new unit of today,
