If you buy a Lazy Daze or other semi-custom made rig for
$10K+ more, you get better factory workmanship in cabinetry and overall housebox quality and solidity, cabinetry, upholstery, better leak resistant roof. Most Class C's use same brands of appliances, furnaces, air conditioners, awnings, etc.High end Class C's have higher resale value if maintained in good condition. If you are not handy, buying a new or near new rig may be better than a ten year old one with appliances about to need replacement. Buy the length, floor plan, brand and model with features that you want at a decent total price, within your budget, taking all initial and recurring costs of ownership into account. Get familiar with all the high-end and lesser cost but good quality brands and range of models/costs within their lines. Don't buy an extended warranty package unless you read the policy and it's exclusions, requirements and loopholes. Set money aside for replacements, repairs and upgrades. Don't buy on impulse or under salesman's high pressure tactics. Be ready to walk out but leave your phone number.
