Four Winds Chateau 29E vs 2005 Coachmen 275

Winnebago? I'd say yes, partly because their workmanship is probably the best of the 4 brands you mention. Gulfstream, Four Winds, Coachmen and Winnie/Itasca, but not all that much. Where WinTasca really excels is in their customer support. I've fixed wiring problems in two of them (for two out of two) by consulting the excellent diagrams they put out. There's a parts list for every model in the last many years. There's a part number on nearly everything. If they don't have a part like a cabinet door they'll make it.
And, comparing the units in this issue, nearly every WinTasca has a fiberglass roof.

I'm presuming that anything Winnebago is better quality? Looking at an Aspect 26 (Class B).

Of the Coachmen and the Four Winds, I like the Coachmen Concord:

1. Front and rear Fiberglass End Caps. The FW has the cheapest-of-cheap corner construction.

2. Concord has two slides. I neither have nor want slides, but if they're a feature you like, the forward slide will open up your living area. But I like the corner look of the kitchen in the FW...

3. In photos, the Coachmen looks to have enough wheelbase to keep the rear axle from being overloaded. Can't tell about the CM. SUGGEST WEIGHING ANY COACH YOU CONSIDER. CAT SCALE (TRUCK STOPS) IS ONLY $10.

Would like to see the ad for the Gulfstream you're considering. The "6316" model comes up in their Endura line, which is a "Super C" on a Chevy Medium Duty chassis and more often than not is diesel. It's a different animal than the other two.

We rented a Gulfstream Yellowstone Class C (not Super C) and it was a pretty nice unit. Still entry level, which is what I'd call the other two C's you linked in the ads. The Coachmen Concord is a little higher, with its end cap construction.

Speaking of different, the Coachmen is more of a "B+" concept. They are usually: Better Appointed, Don't have Cabover Sleeping, Somewhat smaller in Height/Width/Storage. We didn't need the extra sleeping space that C offers over B+, but we wanted the storage offered by the C so that's the way we went.

What about Gulf Stream? Equivalent brand?

Chassis & year & length & features all quite similar to the Four Winds mentioned above. Just 1 slide out on the Gulf Stream Independence 6316 which we are considering.

Here is all the info.

What type chassis and what size engine?
Four Winds usually holds better resale value. But then again depends on what chassis and engine when comparing.

Are they both the same year vehicle? And or Chassis.
