All class As are built on wither a Ford or chevy chassis. the rest of the MH is the same whether it is entry level or high glass. That being said RVs are not like cars where you have toyota on one end and chevy/dodge/etc on the other. You will need to become shade tree mechanics with any RV as there is always something that needs to be done to them. Since you are planning on remodeling you must have some DIY skills so that will go a long way on RV repair and maintenance, chassis stuff you can always hire out or learn to do some of the minor stuff.
Your best bet is to look on craigs list, especially if you don't mind driving some distance. we found our 87 fleetwood southwind, 30 footer, on craigs list for $2900, 28,000 miles. Put about $10,000 into it and we have as nice an RV as any new one without the payments, high insurance, and high personal property taxes.
We shopped in a 300 mile area and found this one about 50 miles away. Now is not the best time for buying as prices will be higher as the season is just starting. We bought ours in November, that is one of the reasons is was dirt cheap.
Good luch on your search.
