Worst we've owned: 2002 Forest River Reflection. Why? Wheelbase too short causing inferior handling, flimsy sidewall construction with lot's of flexing (one windshield popped while driving...), cheapo rubber roof, wiring was a mess from the factory. Nothing labeled, typical rats nest effect.
Best we've owned: 2002 Winnebago Journey DL. Exact opposite of the Forest River... Proper chassis for the size, super strong structure, immaculate build including wires all bundled and labeled properly. Great factory support.
Currently own: 2003 Jayco Avatar. Far better than the Forest River, but not really up to the high standards of Winnebago.
Notable mention: A couple of Fleetwood Bounders we rented prior to purchasing our own coach. Both had relatively high mileage, were "well used", but in very good condition. Cabinetry was holding up very well, chassis seemed stout. In all quite decent coach's, even though they were gas powered..
