Did you check PPL Motor homes? They show the floor plan.

Right now I'm just perusing Craigslist and evaluating the market
Trying to narrow the choices and then search for the right one
Before the next 'situation' happens
Blown turbo in 2014 loss of oil, engine rebuild
Bad $5000 injection pump in 2016
Bed sets over open engine compartment
No rear storage, no under bed storage, cold bed room
Im cozy in bed, but she gets up several times a night

We have a 96 Southwind, 454. No major problems, except for a roof leak that was my fault. I failed to check/maintain the EPDM roof regularly.
That won't happen again. I have since restored the roof.

The AutoPark system can be annoying but, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
I would take a 454, 460 or V-10. No real chassis preference. Condition would be the big factor.

I guess the basic question
Is which ones have the higher quality rating
Or maybe the question should be
Rank their quality and your satisfaction

Feel free to add in other models brands
Basement storage compartment space is paramount importance and a forward generator not under the bedroom is also nice

Really considering going back to gas from this DP
The cold bedroom, is getting annoying
So is spending $6000 or more every two years for repairs

Dw keeps telling diesel was not my best idea
She don't like the cold bedroom or the expenses
And if the wife ant happy, nobody is

After almost 20 years of chugging up and down the road, regular maintenance and general condition are far more important than brand. Still, there will be ongoing issues. If you are handy with tools and have reasonable knowledge of things mechanical they should not be more than a minor annoyance.
