how in the heck to pick a used class A
We have a 1999 Fleetwood class A we bought from my son and used a few times, but it needs to go to motorhome heaven. We want to buy a nice used one and are stymied as to how to know what to choose. ...

We are heading out to New Braunfels tomorrow to look at a couple of prospects. I've been doing some reading, and now I have a question - How would you rate the quality of the Tiffin Allegro from 2003 to 2005 timeframe? They seem to keep pooping up in my price range, and I'm also a fan of the Workhorse chassis. Also, the one we are going to look at has a spare tire storage area on the back wall. I also have a couple to look at that are built on the F53 chassis. I am not limiting my search to only one platform or brand. Which brands from the above-mentioned timeframe are best, and which ones are best to avoid?
ETA
Here are some brands I am looking at:
Tiffin, Damon, National, Southwind by Fleetwood, Hurricane, Aerbus by Rexhall and Pursuit.
I am familiar with most towable RV's brands and quality "rankings", but when it comes to motor homes, I am at a loss. It seems that there are not many brands that build both types.
With used gas coaches, Tiffin, National and Newmar come to mind. Don't know how old you'd like, but a 2003 Dolphin on a WH W chassis, in excellent condition, should serve you well. The later ones also, but don't like the basement air on some, such as the 05 model.
We sold a 98 Tropical last year that would have lasted, next to forever, but got a whim to move up some and from a motel room on wheels, to a rolling hotel suite.
