Just curious?
Everyone knows there are "entry level" RV's and then the scale goes upward to true luxury. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos, specifically Big Truck-Big RV channel which show houses new model...

Airstream would be the only high dollar RV that is giving you superior quality for the extra money.
Lance and Arctic Fox are noted to having pretty good quality for a bit more on the price tag.
Never looked at an Arctic Fox, but we did look at several Lance trailers. They all had the same cheap a$$ components as every other trailer out there.
And therein lies the problem. You spend $90,000 on an MSRP ($130K) unit and you still get many of the same junk components that you can get in a $50K 5er. Same Furrion stuff, same Thomas Payne junk, same wall construction except maybe thicker insulation which does nothing for the potential delam issue.
Same cheap plastic faucets, same cheap cabinet construction.
Even with upgrades to quality faucets whats the big deal? Throw in some extra fake granite counter tops on top of the same cheap wood cabinets.
On top of that you lose about 40% in 5 years, so that $90K is now worth $54K. Thats $36K down the drain.
The biggest upside is only when you dig deeper and look at suspension, frame, slides, heating, cooling, etc.
Other than those there's nothing really special about a $90,000 5er than makes it worth $40K more than less $$$ ones.
