The Interstate is probably the least attractive B out there from a value perspective.
Not much technology incorporated, yet priced like they do. Just to compare, you can basically get an E-Trek for what Airstream wants for their van.
X2.
There are a few improvements with the Interstate, but (JMHO, of course) you are paying a Cadillac price for a Buick. Unless one can get a steep discount (and I'm meaning significant like 20% or more), I'd get something that is actually awe-inspiring similar to Davydd's Alvar.
After a bit of poking around, I may backtrack alittle on the Interstate. I really like the Grand Tour, their new model. It's a similar layout to the ARV, but with a couch in the back.
At around $140-145k out the door, it's ALOT less than an ARV. More like $40k to $50k less. To me, that is not the same neighborhood.
Additionally, everyone bandies about the "quality" of ARV. Yes they have features, and yes they have high end formed cabinetry, but that is not quality. Quality is how well it's bolted together, and how long it remains problem free. The track record is just not there yet to make these bold proclamations. Incorporating alot of tech is one thing, ensuring it will give problem free service for along time is another. Time will tell, I'm sure.
If you want to make bold proclamations about quality, here's one for you - Winnebago Travato is the highest quality RV I've ever experienced! It's not had one single breakdown that required a trip to the dealer. The chassis had provided the promised MPG and performance without a single issue.
