When we were shopping last year it came down to three builders: Jayco, Coachmen, and Starcraft.
In the end we went with the Starcraft because the layout was exactly what we wanted more than anything else. Many campers *look* like they have the exact same floorplan but there are many times little differences that you will notice when you visit one in person.
Starcraft is owned by Jayco and has the same 2 year warranty. For awhile both units were even built in the same plant, but no longer.
Our unit was delivered from the factory with some very minor fit and finish issues as well as a electrical outlet not connected to the breaker, and a black tank gauge that was not connected to the sensors causing it to always read empty. All delt with promptly in one visit to the dealer.
But, goes to show you the state of the industry. It's sad that all brands seem to have issues. Some maybe more than others.
Anyway, we visited a lot of brands. 100s of units over a couple of years of looking. I would not hesitate to by a Jayco if they had the exact unit I wanted. But there is no perfect brand out there that I've found.
