Thor has a formula throughout their various brands for building pretty RV's with low internal quality that is profitable for them. So I would doubt that they will match the previous Carriage quality.
Vist the site Lost! Way too much plywood for me! The went out of business for a reason. Thor did not purchase the intellectual property, frankly cause it was sadly outdated. Toured a new Lifstyle Friday. Not that impressed! First slides were vent deep and floor plan seemed cramped! Kinda like your old 40 plus RV you hate and write about so much!
Funny stuff. Just like Thor has made a name for itself (cheap build). But just somehow there is "value" left to the Carraige name. :h
The rest of what you describe is vague. What's wrong with plywood? Is OSB your preference? Vent deep? Maybe it was in a "full side slide" that you saw? Hanging out 3 ft wouldn't be practical from a engineering observation. If you think the floor plan looked cramped you probably need a bigger truck because there is plenty of room in the larger models.
I'm sure Thor will build on the same lippert platform they build the rest of their products on. My Carraige was one of the last off the line. I have had virtually zero problems with it in over two years - except the cheap Duro tires that were on it. I certainly can't say the same for the Montana I had or any of the other Thor products we've owned.
