Which diesel rig would you purchase?
We have had an Itasca Suncruiser for about 16 years. Actually we are on our third one in that time frame. This last one has about 70,000 miles on it so we do use it, it is a 2005. We want to mo...

The kids, we have a 9 year old and a 13 year old, want the 38 ft bunkhouse. I would like the extra half bath that comes with the 38ft non-bunkhouse model.
We looked at the Itasca Meridan and the Solei models, in the same 38ft length. The 2014 Itasca's come in white seating, only. Not a godo mix with kids.
I am looking for a manufacturer that is known for quality. We would like to stay around 38 feet. I am hoping for a consus like "Tiffen is the way to go" and/or Avoid Fleetwood diesels, or guidance like that.
We were offered the Red in the bunkhouse model for $200k, and wonder if we could do better than that if we go that direction also.
Not true about avoiding Fleetwood. I have never owned one but Fleetwood like any other company makes entry level coaches and then they also manufacture high end coaches such as the Eagle. You can not find a better coach then a Eagle. Tiffin does not even come close to the quality of the high end Fleetwood coaches which used to be American coach lines.
The "avoid Fleetwood" was a question guys - not a statement.
Having said that Fleetwood of the 90's has nothing to do with Fleetwood of today - two totally seperate companies.
We owned a Fleetwood back in the 90's, biggest turd ever made. By most accounts the new Fleetwood is doing a nice job. I wouldn't touch an older Fleetwood, even an American, I wouldn't be afraid of a new Fleetwood at all.
Interesting. When would you say the 90's fleetwoods stopped being fecal matter, when the F53 V10 came out? Ours is nothing luxurious but it is very well built and I believe was considered a best-buy in the late 90s / early 2000s.
