Georgie Boy (which became part of Coachmen) and Damon (a Thor company) each made motorhomes starting at entry price levels, and from there on up to mid-price range.
If there are a lot of RVs of this brand for sale, I suggest that in the area you are looking, a lot them were sold new.
Any RV is a maintenance project, like a house regularly shaken by earthquakes and blown around by storm winds. Make the RV a motorhome, and you add the maintenance of a large truck, which is something more than maintenance of a car, but only in scale.
People most happy with RVs tend to be those who are handy, like to tinker, and regularly inspect and repair things as needed (house, RV, car, lawn mowers, etc). Farmers, ranchers, mechanics tend to enjoy RVing, as those coming over from a "happy boat owner" experience.
If you are not handy, then you have to pay money to someone who is handy. Without regular inspection and preventive maintenance, things are going to break, and you will be inconvenienced until you can get someone to take care of the problem. For the handy and mechanically inclined, it might just be another little fix-it project.
