I can answer using motorhomes as an example. BIL owns a Monaco, another friend leans towards Prevost, high end Prevost, the cost of a small house Prevost.
They all have issues. The more options the more issues. Slides don't slide, cabinets loose, wiring nightmares. One Prevost the marble floor had to be partially removed to repair a slide cylinder.
i purchase a 32ft. Wells Cargo gooseneck cargo trailer, ordered it with the roof to be one foot taller. i installed 12 ft. of living space myself. It was as nice as if the factory had done it at half the cost. I hauled my Jeep in it to the desert etc. That trailer was as rugged as heck and the frame and structure was strong because it started out as a cargo trailer.
Sold it for a class C Cambria and now back to a toy hauler. I have a 25ft. Work and Play by Forest River. It too started it's life as a cargo trailer and then the living quarters are installed. It is rugged but heavy. I really like it. The frame and structure is solid.
All RV's use basically the same appliances. Easy to repair if you have mechanical abilities. You tube is amazing to get pointers. i personally dislike aluminum sided trailers. I prefer the one piece smooth sides without slides.
As was mentioned, hit the rv lots, look around. You can walk into trailers and immediately say " I would not buy this". If you look up trailers and related issues I think you will find they kind of even out with complaints.
As a pickup owner....Ford, GM or Ram. Each has their good and bad.......
