I do not think that the Bounder Classic is an entry level coach. Thor ACE, Storms and Terra are lower level. I agree with others that the Bounders have no more problems than most other RVs. They changed hands recently, since 2008 and I looked at the 31R or T and was impressed. The DW looked at the Thor Vegas and comparing the two, a 26' on a 350 chassis and the 31' Classic, I would choose the Classic.
Overall size aside, I don't buy the claim of 13 MPG and better for the 350 based Vegas over the usual 6 to 8 on the 450 based Classic and would buy one if I had the money. They are out the door for about the same price.
I took the list of standard features of the Vegas, 31' Classic and my 1990 Bounder and it is amazing how well furnished the Classic is for basically the same price. The Winnie Vistas are also what I think are bargains.
So if you really like the Bounder floor plan and features, in my opinion they are a real bargain.
Can't comment on the Dealer.
