IMO..construction is paramount to finding an excellent coach. Check the cabinetry. Is it fastened with screws or staples? 1/2" or 2" screws? How is the fit and finish? Do the cupboard doors close well? How about when you close the front door? Does it sound tinny or solid? How about amenities? Stinky slinky or macerator? Water heater or AquaHot? Full body paint? Did they paint the INSIDES of the slides so the body paint flows with the slides open? Electric awning or manual? What about the slide mechanisms? HWH or Schwintek? If it has air bags, how many? Inboard or outboard? A 10 bag system outboard mounted will ride much better than a 4 bagger. Lots of things to consider as you move up the food chain within a product line. To me, an entry level coach is simply the mfgs cheapest model. As you move up, the sticker list grows and so does the price. Once you move to the luxury line you will see differences but until you reach the top two or three coaches, it's all about amenities. Bigger tvs, residential fridges, solar panels, number of a/cs, etc.
One mfgs "entry level" coach may be head and shoulders above another's "up the line" coach. Choose your mfg wisely.......Dennis
