Well OP, you are right about them being equally manufactured, which is as fast as they can push them out the factory door. There is a lot of Forest River bashing on the internet, and to a point it is deserved, part of it is they have so many different models and brands that they manufacture vastly outproducing the majority of RV builders.
View as many units from varying manufacturers that you can in your area. Undoubtedly, whatever brand, model, or manufacturer you end up with there will be issues to deal with during and after warranty period, just part of RV ownership. Some are minor, others more glaring, purchase from dealer that is equipped to handle warranty issues expeditiously.
