Four Winds Chateau 29E vs 2005 Coachmen 275
I'm looking at both these models. They are of similar price and specs. Any thoughts? I don't know much about either model. Quality wise? Resale in a couple of years? Any known issues with either m...

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.
