That's sort of like saying there should only be one car produced...a Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. Wait until it is used to buy it if you can't afford it new.
2017 REV can be had for about $70,000. A 2015 Coachhouse is listed anywhere from $120,000 to $140,000.
Just different price points. Inexpensive, does not need to be junk.
Nope thats not what im saying. There are somewhere around 5-7 really quality RV builders out there. The vast majority of the rest are junk.
You can get around a 2003-2005 Coach House with fairly low miles for around 40k. And it will STILL be VASTLY better quality and VASTLY better equipped then a hunk of junk like the REV.
Inexpensive doesnt need to be junk. I always look for value. Cheaper priced products that are still good quality. In the RV world that is Winnebago. Cheaper then the competitors while keeping a pretty good standard of quality.
Outside of these handful of companies, this industry is filled with junk. Made from terrible materials and built to last a year.
So I can either buy a brand new RV that will almost certainly be a money pit problem for 70k. Or I can get a older top of the line RV for less. Very easy decision. I suggest you go to a RV show and compare these RVs. The REV is like the cheapest single wide trailer you can buy compared to high quality modular homes. Same industry, vastly different quality.
