When looking for a used lowed priced MH I don't think there is any specific brand better than another.
DO look at the miles though. If they are REAL REAL low miles on an older MH be sure to find out if the MH was parked and sitting. THOSE are the worst and ones to stay away from. You end up with steering rod problems, calipers, exhaust problems from rust from sitting. ASK if the MH was used parked in a CG for long periods of time. Rust on an undercarriage is a killer.
I'd rather buy a higher mileage used MH that was "used all the time" versus one that was parked and allowed to be sunken into the ground for years. And the fact that they most likely left the black tank valve open and the inside of the black tank is a mountain of poo adding more unseen problems.
IMHO A nice Four Winds E450 would be my first pick. :C
They have REAL oak cabinets not the fake stuff. AND the drawers and drawer slides are all 'solid wood' too. I found the Four Winds to be well made inside and out.
Good luck in your quest to find the perfect new to you MH.
