I'm just starting my search for a new Motorhome and will be going with a diesel pusher. These are the mfg's that I'm looking at and would like to get these in order of quality. I'm going for a 1998 to 2005 and would rather go with an older coach but one that was really built well with quality parts. Anything in the 32 to 37 foot range would work well for my wife and I. Would really like one with two slides.
Any suggestions would be great. I need to put them in order from best to worst. If I'm missing a mfg. that should be on the list please add it. If one should be taken off the list that's ok with me.

Other suggestions that you have so far are worth noting.
As for your first pick, we always liked American and have recently purchased the one listed below, even though it's doesn't say American on it anywhere, it was built on the American platform, which Fleetwood owned at the time.
If you should go with an older Revolution as we did, be sure to buy only the 05, 06 or 07. This however, is assuming that you'd like having a 400HP Cat C9. Previous to the 05, engine and hp were less, it wasn't an LE and it just wasn't the same, overall.
After 07 (engine built in 06 and the last of the slobber tubes) Cat did a band aid for the new gov. emissions for building in 07 and then got out of the over the road business altogether, soon after.
We might have went with an even older Foretravel, but with wanting the 1 1/2 bath floor plan, along with the 3 slides, we decided to stick with what we had researched. Still having a few surprises, but that's with any of them and do feel that this quality built coach will serve us well.
Good luck in your search and usually the part with the most fun.
