I was reading a post on another forum where someone said this.
"2008 the economy took a huge dump if you recall - and motorhome manufacturers were hit pretty hard - some went right out of business, some rallied back but it took some years. Plus the fact that there are now more manufacturers in the category, with some trying to take the entry level market - the last bunch of years of seen "some" squirrley stuff.
I think it for this reason why so many speak of the 07 and back years - less corners were cut back then, and the idea of entry level DP's didn't really exist. Entry level was to buy a gasser or a travel trailer."
I've not read anything about that before and I'm curious what you think? Is a 2005 - 2006 - 2007 a better made coach than 2008 - 2009 - 2010 and beyond?
Thanks,

I would first like to say that Winnebago was strong through the 2007 to 2010 recession. Winnebago also restarted there Travel Trailer line during that time phrase when other manufactures were going under! Winnebago makes just about everything for there own RV's and they have been building RV's longer than any other manufactures and that speaks for itself if you do or don't like Winnebago and there financially strong to date. They sub contract glass and tires and some chassis and not much else. All RV manufactures want to corner the market instead of building less and building them better. I have a older coach that I bought new in 2004 and I think the newer coaches are way better due to new technologies it's amazing what they have put in newer motorhomes since 2004. JMHO
