MHs are like tennis shoes - most mfgs sell a variety from cheap to expensive as they try to cover all of the market. I'm not a fan of the "you get what you pay for" statement (look at the Michelin tires that people are having problems with), but it's good general statement.

A little thread drift here but you started it... :B
IMHO: Michelin is an excellent example of you get what you pay for. When they encountered problems with the 20 year old design found in their M/S LT tires what did they do? They recalled 1.6 million tires replacing everyone of them for free with the new LTX M/S 2's. I got 6 brand new tires, mounted and balanced for free (that's $1,500 worth of tires). Michelin has not only produced quality tires for decades they stand behind them.
As far as you get what you pay for in a MH I cannot think of a truer statement. Look at the so called "entry level" units and then take a look at Lazy Day's, Winnebago/Itasca, Phoenix Cruiser, Coach House and yes Nexus. The differences are huge and very obvious. From quality construction/materials to top of the line appliances and internal systems time and time again you really do get what you pay for.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
