We bought a 2016 Starcraft 24rls last April for 24K. It's the 4th new RV we've owned, so we have some experience with quality. I'd say Starcrafts are average quality. I've had to fix a few minor things, mainly leaky water pipes. It does have some annoying floor squeaks (more like squawks). The dealer had advised me to bring it in when I get back home.
My wife wishes it had the optional theater seats in the rear instead of the jack knife sofa. I like the sofa myself.
But here's the thing about these ultra lights - the cargo weight on mine is limited to 924 lbs. Believe me you can only carry the bare minimum of what you need. We have to buy food when we get where we're going. I have to leave most tools at home. I keep a 1 gal jug of water in the bath for flushing on the road. You get the idea.
The upside is I can easily tow this 6250 GVWR trailer with my 1/2 ton truck.
Bottom line - it's all a trade-off.
