Entry level is a misnomer just as you have discovered. There are many RV's and there are many different price levels for these RV's. If you can afford a $100,000 RV but nothing more than any RV priced in that range would be "your" entry level RV. I bought a Thor (when Thor was Thor) back in 1994 (a 95 model). If I had waited another year I would have gotten an even better product but I don't believe I could have afforded it and would have had go buy a gasser instead of the much better (in my opinion) diesel I had chosen.
Back then, the Thor I bought was excellent, served me well and I traded for a used Prevost a few years later. It was a great coach but it was a bit under powered. It only weighed around 19,000 pounds and driving on very windy days was not an option. I tried it once, survived about 3 hours and called it a day.
You just have to buy the RV you want and you can afford. There are no wrong answers here UNLESS you buy an RV you really didn't want but you bought it based upon price.
