Thinking of downsizing from DP to View
Looking for advice, considering downsizing from our HR Ambassador 40dst to a View style class C. There seems to be a broad price range even on the same chassis. Any feedback on MFGs to stay away from...

We downsized from a 2001 Newmar, Kountry Star DP (which we owned for almost 15 years) to a 2016 Forest River, Forester Class C. We are not full-timers but I am retired so we have the opportunity to use our rig quite a bit.
Now that the kids and grandkids are grown it is mostly just me, the Supreme Commander and the two four-legged fur kids. Have throughly enjoyed the rig. Lots of storage inside and out, plenty of room for the two of us and floor plan works great. We didn't need the up front bed so we got the entertainment center.
Have only had two issues, a couple of minor leaks due to caulk not run in a continuous bead. Both found and fixed easily. No other issues.
The V10 is a great engine as is the 6 speed tranny. We travel over the coast range (to the Oregon coast) towing a Honda CRV. Very good performance and decent gas mileage, all things considered.
Good luck with your decision, hope everything works out for you.
