We had two Carriage Cameos and the 2008 was not as glizty as the 2012, the 2008 was better built. We had looked at Heartland Land marks and were not impressed. The same lack of impression on quality for the Redwood trailers.
They were just lacking in the fit and finish and did not seem as solid. We settled on the HitchHiker Champagne over a Mobile Suites. While the HH Champagne is missing some of the glitz, it is a solid trailer
Last fall a fellow full timer in the campground had a Redwood and the front left side was cracked and the siding pulling out of the trim and leaking. It was TWO years old and the answer he got was ...it is out of warranty...your problem. He was looking to unload the turkey and was looking at used DRV, Carriage, Excel and HH.
I for one will spend a bit more to get a better quality. I doubt if I will ever go the route of a New Horizon. Now the only real choice for the price point without going to a New Horizons is DRV. Lifestyle is coming along, but has a few things to iron out. I do not look for Redwood to improve due to Tbors business plans. Hopefully Thor will see the value of the DRV quality and leave them alone.
