We are currently on our 2nd fiver TH, and like you have kids to deal with. We found a lot of things with our first one that we wanted to improve on as well, so we upped the TV to a dually and started shopping. I am not biased by brand, but we knew we wanted a premium rig. So the ones we looked at were Momentum, Voltage, XLR Thunderbolt, Fuzion Chrome, and Cyclone. Each one has some unique features the others don’t so we made a “wish list” to narrow it down (and did NOT get everything we wanted). Our list went something like this: road side kitchen (to have view of our site), TV across from theatre seats, no dinette, no loft, 12 foot or bigger garage, 2nd bath, dark wood and upholstery, wardrobe in bedroom slide with N/S oriented bed, shower with seat, and 3 season doors to patio deck.
Any more than 3 items missing ruled out a coach. And I almost forgot anther limit with no flex was under 4 years old and under 50k. Armed with our list we scoured every dealer within 250 miles and we were basically looking at about 4 coaches. It came down to a 2014 Fuzion Chrome and a 2015 XLR T-bolt 375amp. The XLR was at a better dealer so that was what we went with. I won’t waste your time and try to sell you on our choice, but the above process sure helped us save a lot of time. And buying used saved us a ton of money-we had a XLR dealer offer us a 2018 same model (when he heard we we going south to buy one the next day) for a huge discount at $77k. We got the 15 for $44k
