The only real negative comment I would have with our previous motorhome was the problem with delamination. We had water get into the wall from a couple of holes in the roof that caused the delamination. I found the problem but the damage had already been done. During the install of the sat. dish at the factory there were some extra holes drilled that were not used under the mounting brackets but not filled in either. It took me removing the dish to find the holes.
Do all the motorhomes of the late 90's thru early 2000's have the potential concern of delamination?
Thanks,

Newmar, Holiday Rambler/Monaco, and Travel Supreme/Entegra are not laminated, so (obviously) they cannot delaminate. They use a hung wall construction method. For my money I wouldn't own a laminated coach, for just the reason you noted.
And of the 3 listed above only Newmar offers Comfort Drive, so that makes it an easy choice for me.
The other thing, if it matters to you, only Newmar still has the same owner today as they have since day 1.
Holiday Rambler/Monaco is now owned by the same people who own Fleetwood.
Travel Supreme is now Entegra, which was just purchased by the same owners as Thor.
