I've often wondered the same thing terry.
I've got a 2007 Fleetwood Bounder DP, 38N. Fleetwoods are considered "entry-level".
When I was shopping for Class A DPs last November, I went to PPL in Houston. This was the time it was raining and nearly flooding everywhere down there. I looked at EVERYTHING that was in my price range ($75-90K). I looked at Newmars, Monacos, whatever else they had.Every one of the high-end, luxury units were leaking SOMEWHERE through the roof, around a window, or around the door, or somewhere.
The "entry-level" Bounder I ended up buying didn't have a single drop of water (rain) dripping anywhere it wasn't supposed to.
I've got a 1999 Bayliner 2050LS boat. Bayliner's are "entry-level" too.
Yeah......I'll buy entry-level, and save my money.
