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...

We don’t have a Beacon, but it’s less expensive brother Vilano. About $25k less MSRP which meant no full-body paint, no rear cap, no 8k LIppert suspension, and a little less bling; but same bones etc.
Is it worth it?
We previously had a HitchHiker which we loved and would have bought another if they were still in business. Instead chose a 2019 320GK Vilano which we love. Of course I’ve done many mods including MORryde IS suspension among other things.
We’ve traveled about 9months and 15,000 miles in the 16 months we’ve owned it, no major issues. But unfortunately in the RV industry, quality isn’t as high as it should be, we’ve had several little things go wrong. VanLeigh responsiveness has been what you’d expect from a Tiffin product, and the Tishomingo service center is wonderful.
You won’t find nicer woodwork in the VL price range. It’s got good bones, needs a better suspension but MORryde fixes that. Take a good look at a VL, the good stuff goes deeper than the bling. Not cheap, but the best 35ft 5er we could find.
