I would look at Bluebird Wanderlodge, Prevost, and Newell.
I admit I am biased but I think the Wanderlodge offers the best bang for the buck right now. I dreamt of upgrading for about 7-8 years before I got to do it and I looked at a LOT of manufacturers before deciding to get a Bluebird. These coaches (along with Newell and Prevost) are designed to last a lifetime and they will hold up MANY times better in the event of an accident (Bluebirds were rollover tested by the factory - not sure of the others.
And despite what folks may say about having no factory support, I have had ZERO issues getting my Bird fixed and getting the required parts. The support from the Wanderlodge Owners Group (WOG - http://www.wanderlodgeownersgroup.com) is exceptional.
Just talked to a 2013 Prevost owner in a campground the other day, who previously had a 2003 Bluebird. He said the BB drove better than the Prevost, but not to buy one newer than an 03, which is when the new company took over and cheapened everything.
Now, get this, as it wasn't his first Prevost and his previous one, was so bad, he actually forced them to take it back.
He's had the present one for six months, a Marathon conversion and so far, so good. Can't remember what the other was now.
