OP here.
We have been looking and researching for a long time and have narrowed it down to a floor plan style. There are a few manufactureres that have the floorplan along with other criteria. Now it comes down to comparing them.
That's what we did - we had two very similar models we liked - and we were literally walking back and forth between them, comparing features. Finally chose our Gulf Stream based on larger cargo space.
One thing I want to add: our specific C wasn't at the show, but was in inventory on the east side of Michigan. After the show, it was driven to the Grand Rapids' dealer for our inspection. The show was in January - our pretty, NEW, MH was driven through salty roads - and a year later, we were seeing rusty spots (mostly the exhaust system). Granted - ALL folks living in the north who want a vacation in warmer places, will be driving their RV on salted roads. But if I lived where road salt isn't an issue - I'd be careful about when my unit was planned to leave the Mfr (since so many are in N. Indiana). No sense in it getting a salt bath if you don't have to.
