There's a Rexhall Dealer just down the road from me in Lancaster, Calif. They still seem to be in business. Haven't changed their name or anything.
Two years ago I went and spent a morning touring all their rigs. I was the only customer there. When someone on the skeleton crew spotted me, the owner himself came out to trail me around the lot.
They had two units with the slides in I got to tour. Stupid design, IMO. The BED had to be lifted or it would smoosh into the opposite wall when you remotely pulled in the slides! Ruining it. Crunching the bed frame.
Then, some idiot thought it fashionable that the couches have that dumb half moon extension on one end of the couch that sticks out into the walkway. What happens when you have the slide closed because of weather or travel? You have to jump or climb over the stupid thing. The slide in also covered the doors of the refer so you can't make a sandwich on the road. And the worse thing was that you couldn't use the toilet with the slides in.
There was also an extensive use of Ultraleather...which of course is plastic and terribly uncomfortable most of the year. Guess they are all using that now because people think it's real leather. Names like Ultraleather, Leatherette, or Koskin Leather, are all fake leather. My guide told me that I couldn't order real leather, not available. Too expensive I guess.
But that was two years ago. Maybe Rexhall has changed their design. I wouldn't have one though. Mainly because of the poor quality, construction, and design.
