So, it really comes down to what I should be more worried about? Forrest River quality control issues or dealing with a smaller, boutique company in business for seven years that seems to have mostly good reviews, but certainly some reviews where people complained about problems getting issues resolved.
My take? RVs are still fairly generic creatures. You will always be able to find someone to fix problems, no matter the brand. The E-450 is a bullet-proof motor that can be dealt with by any truck-repair center. The components within a Nexus, like fridge, A/C - are still common to many (all?) brands. I suspect that when one buys a well-built RV, you will still have a trip to the dealer to "tweak" any issues you find; and then the rest of it boils down to how long the components last. The "boutique" aspect doesn't scare me at all.
