I'm not sure that you can buy your way to better foundations. Most manufacturers use the same rear deck manufacturer, Lippert axles/frames, door manufacturer, etc.... You can get plywood vs OSB roof decks, differences in siding and insulation. Largely roof construction is (mostly) the same.
I think there are big differences in customer support - but that's only good for the warranty period, largely... Other than the parts function.
You've got to stay on top of these things. Any little water leak and potentially destroy an RV. And short of an Airstream, I don't know any design that holds water without some significant inspection / maintenance.
If you've got yours sorted, it's the devil you know... Versus a big wallet drain and a new set of potential issues.
