To the people that read this all RVs don't have problems. We have had several RVs over the years our firs RV was a older Class C with a 350 Chev engine that we winterized for winter skiing ( no problems) a Damon 36 foot Class A with gas (no problem) a 1999 38 foot Holiday Rambler with Cummings/Allison we put at least 30,000 miles on it - sold it to our friends and they are still bringing it to Puerto Vallarta with no problems. We then bought a 2004 40 foot Zanzibar Safari Cummings/Allison which we drove to Alaska, across Canada down the east coast to Yuma, AZ and onto Mexico 3 times to PV (wish we still had it) downsized to a 2004 TIOGA/Ford V10 30 foot so we could go to our fishing holes no problems. We have NEVER had a problem with any of our units.
It is unfortunate that people do have problems but not everyone does and so don't be afraid to GO RVING. We have for 20 years and still love it.

Any experience with one made @ 2014 onward during this sales boom?

Newmar. - superb materials, superior craftsmanship. separates the quality coaches from the crappy ones.

Our RV friends just up graded from an older Monaco (which they never had a problem with) to a new Essex. 2 days of loading and settling in, they left on a 2 month trip.

Nary a problem the whole time.

I don't believe that Newmar makes Class C motorhomes. So what Class C motorhome matches a Newmar Class A motorhome?

My vote goes maybe with Coach House Class C motorhomes ( .... or are they really Class B+ motorhomes?).

Only a slight difference between spending $100K more, or $200K more, or $500K more? Realistically a Newmar and the like are not options for most, and its for a lot of reasons other than just the financial aspect of it, which is probably the largest. How about when you spend $125K on something it at least does not start falling apart on the way home from the purchase which has more to do with how it was built as opposed to what it was built from.
