Tiers of Motohomes

The old Fleetwood gas line up, before REV Group, was of decent value. The whole line is of the same construction materials. Some just trimmed out better. The build quality is just as good as the other brands. Just less fluff and not near the prestige and maintenance costs as the high $$ coaches.
The Workhorse W chassis ("I" beam front suspension) is good stuff. 8.1 engine with Allison tranny. Stay away from the Workhorse P chassis (Independent front suspension). It has too many issues.
The Ford F53 V10 chassis is good with some spark plug issues. Cure to the spark problem has been found. 1999 275 HP, 2000-2006 305 HP.
I can't speak for the other manufactures, seeing as how I'm driving a 27 year old Bounder. GRIN

Pay attention to Richards post. I have spent a small fortune on my IFS front end. I would look for a MH 2006 Ford or Workhorse or newer. Ford had the 362HP and better transmission in that year and the Workhorse had the 340HP and Allision transmission. Both had the straight axle front ends that are less moving parts to wear out and fail than the IFS. If you start with a better chassis all the others systems are pretty much the same, refers, WHs, AC,s etc. As far as better tier MH,s, they are built in the same lines use the same adhesives and FG for the boxes. Maintenance as others have said will be more important than Tiers. Especially check for delamination in that age MH. Also check for mods like headers, which greatly improve HP, reduced heat and increased performance. I would rather buy a well maintained Flair with Headers, FF muffler, and a CAI than a stock non maintained Pace Arrow.
