There are some less expensive "lite" models that are built with lighter material. Lighter materials means not as durable when it comes to cabinetry, fit and finish, floor flex, etc. As a general rule, most mid level, mid priced rvs are all built to the same standard and most have some issues right out of the efactory (my experience anyway). The unit is only as good as the crew that built it. The important thing is to pick a floor plan you like and then compare several brands with that floor plan. Spend lots of time in them. Bring a flashlight and Phillips screw driver and look behind cabinets, look at wiring, plumbing, see how doors and cabinets line up. If you take time, you should find a unit that gives you the feeling it was designed and built OK. If you look at enough units, you will see flaws. Also jump up and down on the flooring. Some brands have sturdier flooring than others.
Don't get caught up on distracted in the bling that many brands have. Look beneath the bling for things such as quality furniture, cushions, bed construction, etc. Good luck.
