The Nexus exterior construction is about the same as the big brands. Filon walls and a fiberglass mini-cap on the front end. I would expect them to leak at the same rate as similar units. Now if you look at Phoenix Cruiser, you are looking at a huge upgrade in leak prevention. All IMO.
Sorry Snowman but I could not disagree more. Nexus is easily one of the best built C's out there. Nexus frames in steel (72% stronger than conventional aluminum framing). They use Azdel instead of Luan or plywood (stronger, lighter, higher R value and will NOT absorb moisture). The roof is one piece fiberglass with one piece fiberglass front and rear end caps. You won't find any plywood or particle board anywhere in a Nexus. Hardly the same construction quality as the so called "Big brands", not even close.
I am also very happy with the heated tanks, remote control heated mirrors, electric awning, innerspring mattress, 7' of interior head room throughout the coach and power drivers seat (to name just a few of the high end features found in our Nexus). You can spend a lot more than the price of a Nexus but bang for the buck you will be hard pressed to find a better value.
After nearly 18 months and more than 22,000 trouble free miles we are happier with our Phantom 23P then ever.
