A couple of things I've gleaned from this forum.
1. Unless you rent a number of rigs, it's very difficult to get everything you want the first time. You probably won't find anyone to rent the 2 you're looking at, so a suggestion I've seen here is to sit in the rig without the salesman and get the feel for the interior. After you purchase, it's a matter of adjusting your lifestyle to a new space reality and compromise. We bought a cheap class A not knowing what we wanted and used that as our learning experience to make a list of what we really needed. Asking here is ok, but you'll get a lot of opinions based on other's experience, not yours.
2. Don't plan on getting too far from the dealer or a dealer's facility in the first six months. There will be things going wrong, breaking or not quite right no matter how much you shell out.
Just MHO.
1. That's why my number 1 criterion was getting a $$ deal on a used one so I could get my money back when we figured out what we really wanted in a camper. It worked, and we have no buyer's remorse on our Eagle. It's so right in important areas that we are having a hard time finding a plan on a new one. I guess we'll just have to keep our money!
2. Our dealer is nearly a thousand miles from home. We were lucky. Never needed it in the whole 2-year warranty period. But I'd never risk that again!
