RVgreyhound,
Sure new Foretravels, Country Coaches, and so on are big money. But there are many used ones that are under the 200,000 range. If you are asking me for a good under 200 new diesel motor home that is "consumer grade". We like the Fleetwood Providence 39 and 40 foot models. These have a really nice full wall slide on the drivers side and are simply huge inside. IMHO they have everything you need and nothing you don't for a very nice brand new class A. If we were buying an under 200 new DP we would take the 40 ft one. Very very nice floorplan. This is a mid range machine though. But all the essentials are there, screwed & glued cabinets, well made sturdy chassis with boxed frame, good drivetrain, company still in business. That is where I would look first. None of the competitors have as nice a floorplan in this price range.
