Just the two of us, not looking extra sleeping capacity.

Thinking 34-36'

What other brands are worth considering?
What brands to avoid?

I'm very mechanically inclined so I can crawl around & under to check stuff.

I'm looking for a rig that has good drive-ability, not be bothered much with semi's passing us at 90.

Things not falling apart driving down the road.

What other items need careful attention on inspection so I don't get hit with a big repair bill for ball joints or brakes.

Winnebago. We bought our Ultimate Freedom for around 50k. They are still in business and their parts support is great.

In my opinion I would avoid Thor and Keystone products. I'm not saying they are bad but our experiences with them have been less than favorable.
