Yeah, I know how to evaluate a specific unit to determine if it is worth buying. I just want to gauge build and component quality as my first filter to get me to the units I want to spend money to have them inspected.
I'm leaning toward Pace Arrow, Southwind, or Damon Intruder.
I know what you are trying to get at, but as others said, brand and tier won't mean anything on a 20 year old MH. They are all built pretty much the same way with the same components. The exception would be Bluebird, Prevost, Foretravel, Newell etc. But production MH's, won't matter. Sure some may have different bits or a bit better quality when it was built, but after 20 years, none of that matters. Every high level "tier" rolled off the same assembly line as their lowest end offering. Same people building them, same materials, same method. Flashy bits and paint seem to be the main difference in Tiers. Pick a floorplan you like with the things you want in it, find those models and look for one that was well maintained.
