I must disagree about Forest Rivers lack of Quality build. They are really up and coming and for the last several years are building quality Motor homes. They have the One-Piece Molded Fiberglass Front End Cap, 2" laminated Gel Coat sidewalls, vacuum bonded with aluminum frame structure, steel backers & block foam insulation.
Forest River has not been building the Coachman so it does not have the same quality, but they will probably improve this as time goes by.
I need to clarify that I never looked and a FR up front. I only read of horror stories in 2008/2009 from new FR owners with brand new units having sun light beaming inside hanging cabinetry where the ceiling met the walls. Dealers addressed the split seamwork with pounds of caulk. That being the heaviest of poor design and workmanship.
