Build quality gas vs DP
I looked at a 2001 Foretravel DP. It was the U270, their lower line at the time. Loved it. Is there any gasser that has high end build quality like that? I'm assuming not.

Snowman9000,
If you are asking if there gasoline coaches with build quality comparable to a 2001 Foretravel U270, the answer is NO. But, it likely cost at least twice what the most expensive gas coach did when it was new. Not reasonable to expect quality to be the same.
BTW, no difference in build quality between the different Foretravel models-- just drivetrain and equipment differences. Same construction.
BTW, here are specs on the 2001 Foretravel U270:

X's 2.
For gas Class A's, I felt that three of them were of above average construction build:
-Mountain Aire (Already mentioned)
-Tripple E
-Rexhall
National also had the Dolphin line, on the Workhorse chassis, that were well built with good materials and components, towards the last few years of their operation.
And as also mentioned, all subject to opinion:)!
We looked real hard at the UFO 8.1 rear engine Class A's, as a hold over coach until we retired. Ended up keeping our Bounder, but only because we decided to pull our retirement date forward a few years. I liked the Monaco Holiday Rambler and Rexhall UFO based Class A's too.
Happy hunting,
