RV Consumer Group
It will cost you a few bucks to join, but if you're looking for an unbiased opinion on an RV, this is the site for you.
Considering how much. $$$$ you're about to spend, this is pocket change.
Good hunting. There are more junk products then quality products so be careful in your search.

Note *IMO*.
When I was looking for my first 5th wheel, I thought that would be a good idea.
Then (after purchasing the product), I found they admitted it wasn't really based on "consumers" - and for *new* 5th wheels, they also admitted they had *no* first hand -or consumer- information.
(They simply "evaluate" the mfgr specs and info).
I considered it worthless, and inaccurate guesswork.
Real experiences by owners -and my own observations- were a much better "guide".
OP - go out and look at the manufacturers offerings yourself.
For openers, that's more than the Consumers Group does.
See what you like and what you don't.
Spend time in the ones you like. Open drawers & cabinets, etc.
When you have narrowed your choices - try some searches on forums (like this one) - and owners forums (sometimes by brand and/or on Yahoo Groups)
See what owners are saying. Positive/negative, good-bad-ugly?
Your YMMV...;)
