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

I understand that different people have different tastes . But in general, if you have 48K to 55K to buy a new RV (22-25 feet) . Which of the following would you choose ? and why ?

Thor Four Winds 22E
Freedom Elite 22E
Coachmen Freelander 21QB
Forest River Sunseeker 23U
Fleetwood JAMBOREE SEARCHER

My budget is 48K to 55K and the RV's length requirement is 22-25 feet . I found the model above on-line and at the local dealer. I am planning to move from my old B to a new C and I am looking for advice .

Buying new you loose several thousand dollars driving it the first mile.
Nothing wrong with buying a slightly used unit with upgrades for that price.
Floor plan and storage you can live with is the most important consideration.

Hi donn0128 , thanks for the reply . So you do not think they entry level RVs are "decent" compared to the more expensive models ? I thought the materials maybe cheap but they should last for a long time.

If you cannot afford a decent quality unit why not reconsider and either buying used or get a different type.
