Sub 35 foot Well Built Motorhome?

Hi. I am going to be in the market for my next motorhome soon and am looking for one that is 35 foot or less in length. I am open to gas or diesel but it must have at least 6 seat belts for the wife and kiddos. What are some quality manufacturers out there? So far I've been looking at Tiffin and Holiday Rambler. Any others I should consider? I am moving from a Dynamax Isata 3 to this so I am looking forward to having more room inside. My previous motorhome was a 40 foot Winnebago diesel pusher. Great space but just too big for my needs and where we like to camp.

    Looked at a 2001 Winnebago Journey 32' for a friend.

    Looked pretty well constructed on Freightliner chassis

    My concerns were:

    Basement air-- no longer in production.
    Smaller transmission (2000, not 3000).



    The basement AC had been back in production for several years:

    There is a Thor forum over on iRV2. Probably the best place to get some real world answers. Thor is generally considered to be at the low end.

    My top 3 would be Newmar, Tiffin and Winnebago.

    Well, If $$$ is not a concern Go with New Aire from Newmar or Tiffin Allegro Red or...the Foretravel (ic 37, the chassis is actually 35 ft).

    Thanks for the ideas. How are the Thor Palazzo coaches? I have heard mixed reviews but curious if anyone has any real world experience. I love the size and layout of the 33.5 floor plan.

    I miss my quiet basement air in our old Winnebago Luxor....This Monaco we have now has noisey roof air. Our Monaco is 36ft DP.

    I've always liked the Winnebago Journey 32. I believe it has 6 seatbelts. The Journey is also available in 34 ft. The models I am thinking about were produced in the early 2000's
