We looked at the Jayco Eagle AND the Keystone Cougar 327res. HUGE price difference - over $20,000. However, the Jayco had a 2 year warranty and the Cougar had a 1 year warranty. Floor plan was almost identical - the Jayco had a lot of upgrades and looked more like an expensive home - $20,000 worth. However, the Cougar was gorgeous to say the least and had a TON of room and storage.
I, too, was a tad skeptical of the Cougar...read a lot of complaints - you will also hear about complaints on ANY product. But, on the Cougar, I did read a lot of praise!
For the amount of camping that we will be doing - this wasn't a hard decision. $20,000 was a lot of money! We pulled the trigger on the Cougar and we couldn't be more happy! We did go ahead and purchase the extended warranty for peace of mind.
If money is no problem, go with what you like....take into consider how MUCH camping you will be doing - is the extra money worth it for you? Also, check our YOUR dealer - this is so important to make sure you have after the sale customer service and that they don't just dump you after you have bought!
Again, we LOVE our Cougar!
