Reliable meaning what. The Ford v-10 is widely used and very strong drive train. The "house" portion uses components that are similar, it depends on how they are installed.
As far as the overhead bunk, I chose to go with the B+ plus as they call it. No front bunk but an entertainment center instead. For 2 of us we don't need the extra space. Front bunks tend to leak I hear. I purchased a Itasca Cambria, 2009. Very pleased with it's service after 5 years of ownership, purchased pre owned from original owner.
Personally I would not purchase new nor used from a dealer as they come from repos and auctions and who knows their repair history. Original owners with documented repair histories is my goal.
I have worked on motorhomes valued at 50K up to 750K and I can say this, they all come with issues. If you are handy and repair items as they come ,and they will, you should have many years of trouble free service. If you anticipate trouble free travels that's not going to happen.
