Need to buy a NEW entry level RV - Any suggestions ?

I have owned 3 motorhomes that I purchased new, including a Winnebago, so I speak from experience. My Forest River TT is my first towable RV and the quality doesn't come close to any Winnebago product.

And yes, a Winnebago in that price range may have less amenities or cost more than the other brands, but it will certainly be a much better product.
