I wouldn't argue with your brand selections, but I would advise you to consider getting a professional inspection of any unit you are seriously considering. Several of your choices are going to be several years old with your budget and the past maintenance is a big unknown.
Any water intrusion will severely damage any unit regardless of the brand. Sometimes these repairs are cleverly hidden/covered up.
Just like a S&B house start at the top (roof), look for evidence of regular maintenance (condition of caulking) and condition of roof.
Look at all systems especially the slide mechanisms, landing gear, plumbing (look closely under sinks, tubs and showers)for evidence of leaks.
Look at all of the flooring around the entire perimeter of the unit for soft spots/rot/mold. Pay close attention under all windows, and in front of the exterior door.
This may sound a bit paranoid, but RV's just don't fare well if they aren't maintained properly.
There are some well maintained units out there and when you come up on one it will stand out.
Good luck in your search and enjoy the new life!

Looking to spend about $30k max.
So far, according to my research, I like these brands: EverGreen: green + build quality; Carriage, (Carri-lite/Cameo): build quality, Cedar Creek: economical build quality, NuWa (Hitchhiker): build quality & great forum community support, Teton: quality & great in cold weather, Peterson (Excel): build quality, New Horizons: pricey, best quality. Does agree / disagree with this list? Why?
Thanks in advance!
You're missing DoubleTree - DRV Suites. Build quality, 4-season strong, great forum support. Much better than a couple on your list.
With a little patience, you can find one in that price range.
One Suite owner had a fire in his Dometic fridge that totaled his older Suite. He found a 36' 2006 Mobile Suite repo for $17,000 down in AZ.
