Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions! The Fleetwood seems to be the best choice. We love the floor plan and it sounds like it is well made. I'm sure we'll be browsing this forum often!
We recently bought a Fleetwood Bounder and are very happy with our decision. The price was great, the fit and finish is good, and it handles very well.
Contrary to others in the forum, we like and have no problems with our non-fiberglass roof.
We found the Bounder to be a great value as many options on other lines are standard on the Bounder. There are things we would change but they are minor and do not impact our enjoyment of our coach (dometic fridge door "lock," winegard satellite system).
There are many, many happy Bounder owners. They must be doing something right.
The only problem with rubber roofs is they WILL need to be replaced someday and they are not cheap. A fiberglass roof will not, just needs caulking at the seams. If the Bounder had a fiberglass roof it would be perfect.
You can take care of your rubber roof and it will last many, many years, but some people seem to fall behind on that as getting on the roof is not fun.
I'm not trying to criticize your roof, it's just that a fiberglass roof is virtually maintenance free except for checking the caulk every couple of years.
Safe travels,
MM.
