When the wife and I decided it was time to trade the TT for FW, we went to shows and dealerships in our area to get an idea of what it out there. Also, you can go to the manufacturer's websites and get a lot of information on how the units are built. In the end, we went with a Jayco Pinnacle FW for our money. A key thing for us was Jayco's 2 year warranty. All the other manufacturer's only offered 1 year. Keep in mind the warranty on appliances and electronics is with the manufacturer of those components and NOT the RV manufacturer. So make sure the components in your RV are also from quality manufacturers.
