We went to the show originally looking at toy haulers and learned we would rather have the living space and leave the atv in the truck. yes a double bunk rear with dinette, couch and front queen bed is what we are after with a slide out. ive been doing alot of research and it seems none of these are built very well and they all have there problems from new. i looked into the grand design it looks a little to high end for what i want. artic fox, nash and lance didnt seem to offer what i was looking for. too bad honda or subaru doesnt make rv's hahaha
You will be looking for something with designations such as 26bhs or with regard to Jayco Eagle TT 284BHBE. I'm not familiar with the Jayco brand, just putting that up there as an example. Although, seems a lot like the Jayco brand.
Agree with the last post about finding a dealer you can trust who will take care of you. Understand that buying new is very common to end up with a punch list of items that need to be fixed as something may not be quite right from the factory... same as new houses. Is this acceptable? No, but it is how the industry is and seems should be more inline with new car manufacturing than house building. If I were buying new right now, I wouldn't be so concerned with minor punch list type items showing up from peoples complaints about a brand, I would look more into major issues; structure failures, roof leaks, delamination, poor design or construction methods, cheap construction materials, etc. The major issues will be things that will not be easy to fix or won't get fixed. Most appliances are from one or two companies so you're not going to find major differences there.
