We're in a new-to-us 2008 Coachman Freedom Express 21QB. No slides, queen bed, cabover bed and the dinette makes into a nice bed. It's a great starter RV, especially if the two kids are small enough.
We're a family of five - three teenagers, and it's a bit too cramped for us. We make do, but we're probably going to go larger.
Even tho' its a 2008 and a Coachmen (who's reputation for quality was on the downturn) - it's been fine! Everything works. It's been a great RV to *learn* with. Learn about the mechanicals of the RV itself and learn about what kind of camping we enjoy.
No - lower priced RVs aren't something to shy away from. Just go in eyes-wide-open. There will be some problems. There will ALWAYS be some issues.
The higher priced RVs buy the same components that the lower priced ones do.
You didn't say whether you were set on buying new or not, but the huge advantage to buying a new-to-you, gently used RV, is that the large depreciation hit was taken by the previous owner.
We got ours for a *fantastic* price. And now we know a helluva lot more about RVs, and we feel much better prepared to buy the next one.
