I definitely think the older ones (at least prior to 2014) are better built. As time goes on, everything is production and not quality.
I have attended the TAMP RV Super Show for about 12 years now. I have seen a steady decrease in quality fit and finish even on what are considered quality rigs.
All the better companies like Teton Carriage, Lifestyle, Excel, NuWa are gone.
The manufactures know how to distract from shoddy workmanship by all the glitz and glam.
I'd take my 2014 over anything new on the market.
you can take any older rig that has been properly maintained and upgrade the suspension or install a RV Flex Armor Roof and redo the interior and probably have a better rig than what you buy new.
If something was to happen to ours, I'd probably take my time to shop for a used one of the brands I mentioned.
Good luck.
