My opinion and that is all it is. I have owned a Sunstar33T and a Sunova35J, both were bought largely due to the bunkhouse layouts. I did look a number of used units. I remember looking a another BH unit at the dealer next to the one we bought from. They had the slides out, but the levelers were up. Looking at the unit the slides were sagging! The interiors that you see depend very much on what the buyer thinks will sell in his market. Our 35J has a fairly light interior with carpet only in the cab and rear bedroom. Light colored flooring in the main area. It is relatively quiet, has dual pane windows.
One selling point that Winnebago/Itasca have is that they make most of their body parts in house. I was also impressed with the cage construction. I don;t thin that it would survive a roll-over but that it has the strength to support its weight while on its roof is pretty darned good.
There are some fit and finish issues, albeit minor. Given a clean sheet I would have moved a few things a few inches, but all in all it is not a bad coach. I have made a few upgrades. Put a hose holder under the genset, a spare tire carrier on the hitch, A 5-star engine tune. I'll be making minor suspension changes this spring. Between the two in 6 yeas I have over 40k miles about 2/3 towing a Jeep Liberty. I get 6.4 MPG average over 22k mikes in this unit.
I would change a bunch of things if I could, the cargo doors would be front hinged, not top hinged. the compartments under the driver side slide would not be hung on the slide.
One thing we all have to remember is that yes, we are spending 100K plus but we aren't spending 200k, there are a lot of things on a 200-300k that you don;t get on a 100k unit, no different than a Caddy vs a Cruze. I'd like day-nite shades, a roller screen shade in the cab, air ride, air brakes, a rear engine diesel. BUT I have the 150K or so that I can use to travel with vs parking it in the driveway.
