kohai, now you know why the market doesn't have a good definition of who the top quality manufacturers are. The replies are very much what I expected. What you ask is very suggestive and based on various opinions based on what constitutes top quality.
Me, I look at top quality as to the build and workmanship rather than the bells and whistles. Although some frills are nice, they are worthless without quality construction materials and workmanship.
True but usage trumps quality.
DRV,New Horizons,Spacecraft are tops if luxury and amenities are important and budget is unlimited.
Excel,Arctic Fox are tops if cold weather, rugged use is important.
Redwood,Cardinal,Lifestyle- fall into the lots of Amenities budget not unlimited.
Montana,Cedar Creek,Open Range- decent amenities,good value ,lots of bang for the buck.
Prime Time,Cruiser,Cougar value priced full featured.
They all have gadgets and glitz,fit and finish is usually better on the more expensive units however they are lemons in each grouping.
Best quality is misleading. Most of us don't need New Horizons quality.
Many don't need and Excel Arctic package. or the rugged durability of an Arctic Fox.
Cargo Capacity,tank capacity, size length,floorplan are all factors that have to be factored in with quality.
Quality is also relative to budget as well.
Rv's are not as simplistic as cars there is a lot of variation in usage and capability.
