reliable components

OK, on the plus side Cummins, Allison, Roadmaster chassis, Onan diesel gen, Hankook tires, fiberglass roof, Girard awnings, AquaHot heat, Fantastic fans, Splendide W/D, Interstates batteries, LED lights from China
On the negative side NoCold 1200, 3M film, carpet instead of tile, Halogen lights, non LED TVs
*I would add KingDome to the negative side and the bigger Monaco/HR pre 08 as good units.

What is your budget and what size MH would you be looking for? Will you stay in places with full hookups or more remote areas with no electrical or water? Would you be traveling to these places and staying 2 weeks or less or will you stay for a month or more at each place? If you can post how you will use the MH it would help.

We leaning towards a diesel, because would like to pull full size vehicle(Tahoe). I am also 6ft 7inches tall at 280pounds. We will be covering all types of conditions in either a motorhome or fifth wheel. I do like the idea of more room in the cockpit and sitting higher that a motorhome gives. We are in the ministry, traveling to children's homes throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, Alaska.

This is going well without a single component listed but without knowing if you are asking about a gasser or a DP I'll wait. Between the "rubber roof" and asking the same question in the 5er section I'm leaning towards gasser... it makes a big difference.

Other that custom Prevost based buses, my personal ranking for Class A motorhomes.

Foretravel & Newell, quality build, top quality components, manufacturers that back their coach and will upgrade/re-condition them. Down side, even an old ones aren't cheap compared to mass produced coaches their age.

Next tier would be Country Coach, Monaco high end, Travel Supreme (now Entrega) and American Coach, but none of these companies really exist as they were 10 years ago. All have suffered through major turmoil, restructuring and/or change of ownership. But quality was there.

Winnebago, Newmarr* and Tiffin* come next, good quality coaches that are mass produced with decent track records, overall. These companies build entry level to some higher end Class A's

One's I would personally stay away from as a novice full-timer, Fleetwood, Thor (Damon*, Four Winds*, Dutchmen), Forest River (Coachman*, Georgie Boy*, Sportscoach*), Alfa, Alpine, National RV, and R-Vision*. Some are gone, many consolidated, some haven't been known to come to the plate when problems happen.

* We or family members have owned products by these companies

I'm a Winnebago guy! I'm not recommending to you buy a Winnebago that would be a disservice! They have been making RV's longer than any other RV manufacture and they make a lot of there own parts and systems. I've own my Winnebago for 12 years with very little trouble. I don't worry about getting to point A from point B like I did when I owned other RV brands. Good Luck to you.
