My recommendation is start with desired floor plan and this will limit the list quite a bit. From there you can decide on brand. For the most part, most rvs are built basically the same (wood frame and aluminum sided or aluminum frame with filon siding).
Each major brand forest river, Keystone, etc has multi. ple brands based on price level and creature comforts, appearance themes, etc.
In my opinion floor plan comes. Once you find one you like, go through it with a magnifying glass. If you have good eye, you should be able to tell if the unit is a good build it not. One brand and model trailer can be built on a Tuesday and be great, then same brand and model built the next week can be junk. It depends on which crew built it. Consistent quality control definitely is lacking in the rv industry. What is most important is that you do not sign the dotted line on a new or used unit until you have performed a thorough PDI. Don't count on the dealer saying that they went through everything. Many dealers simply wash and vacuum them and let the buyer find the problems.
