I just upgraded FW. The new one has push button leveling jacks at each corner and automatic awning that you control with a remote, plus it controls AC and TV plus sound system and outside lights. Has cutting edge docking station (lighted) where you hook everything up.
I'm not bragging just pointing out that the hard chores of setting up and breaking down are about as hard for me now as a 350,000+ MH. I've had both by the way 3 FW's and 2 MH's (not a $350,000 unit by any means)
I got my new (2013) coach on year-end clearance sale for around $70,000.
The biggest difference in a MH and FW is the onboard Generator and it is tied in to the coach fuel system so, you can run one forever. A MH is truly self contained. You can pull in a WalMart parking lot in the middle of a downpour and never step outside the unit. Take a shower, cook a meal, watch a litttle tv and go to bed.
You and your bride are gonna have to get wet if you pull into that same WalMart, pouring down rain in your FW. But, hey I like roughing it a little myself.
