Smaller High Quality Fifth Bunkhouse

I don't have any recommendations but would like to point out that a lot of RV owners experience problems for the first few years they own a brand new unit.

Plus higher end RVs usually mean heavier weights so you want to make sure your truck has the capacity to tow the trailers you are considering.
We tend to buy mid-priced RVs and have been satisfied with each one. Our TT was 16 years old with only a few minor problems over the years. We sold it to upgrade to our current 22 year old 37ft 5th wheel. There were quality control issues when we first got it but once those were fixed we didn't have any issues until at the 10 year mark; the refrigerator coil unit need to be replaced. Then the AC unit died a year later...
Our first two RVs were used when we bought them, the original owners were happy with them and were upgrading. Both of these had the usual wear and tear problems for the few years we owned them. Neither of these were high end units.
