My wife and I are going to purchase our first motorhome. We have narrowed it down to three possible choices that fit our budget. Forest River FR3, Coachman Pursuit 31BDP or the Thor ACE 30.1. If any of you experienced RVers out there can share any information as to which one would be the better purchased it will be greatly appreciated. The prices we have been given on the three are extremely close so that will not be an issue. Thank you very much for any advice or suggestions you can get.

Sounds like you are buying new with these choices and all will come with a warranty, along with issues, so be prepared for a lot of pain and suffering along the way. Just MHO of course and it's only worth what you're paying for it. I like buying the upper lines of tried and proven used (not abused) and doing my own work in most cases. The others, I sub out to reputable people for a reasonable price and so far I'm about $100K ahead, when you take depreciation per mile into consideration.
Others will answer your specific question, so just thought I'd throw this in for thinking outside of the box.
