Tiers of Motohomes

I'm looking at a lot of 20 year old motorhomes, because I have a tight budget. I can't find anything to help me identify the different tiers of motorhome within a brand. As an example, Fleetwood in that period has Bounder, Bounder Classic, Southwind, Storm, Pace Arrow, Pace Arrow Vision, Flair, and Discovery... and that's just the Class-A's. I'm also considering Class-C's so there's a hole other mess of lines of Class-C Fleetwood RV's. Is there a source that identifies the different tiers for older motorhomes?
I only used Fleetwood as an example, I'm still looking at other brands also. I just want to figure out were they budget, mid-tier, or top of the line brands when I look at an RV.

I couldn't find anything on this type of question, so I apologize if this has been answered, and would appreciate a link.

    not sure of your question, but will try. Class A gas 19.5 tires. A few had 22.5. A couple difference sizes. Diesel 22.5 and again different sizes. Some of these sizes are very hard to find now. Class C were 16.5 and I think some had 17.5. Could be wrong on these. Someone with a Class C should jump in. Go with a 22.5 if you can find one that you like. Check and see if the tire size is available now.

    My first Class A has 16.5 tires and did not have very much load carrier on them.

    IMO at twenty years old, it’s all about provable maintenance (house and chassis), running all the systems, driving the MH in a real world test and whether the tires are aged out.
