Our 5th wheel has all the bells and whistles, is very well built. Has nice counter tops, dual pane windows and double floors with double frame and lots of other stuff.

It was a sad day indeed when they closed down the factory. They even had their own RV park in Indiana with a nice green private park included with the RV park.
