Recomendations for a new gasser

You can get a nice used Tiffin or Winnebago in your budget range. The bugs are generally worked out of a slightly used rig. I would not buy a Thor Ace if you gave me the money to buy it. Just my opinion

To the original question about gasser and under 35', you are going to get a lot of opinions but, Ranger Smith's post pretty well sums up what you get for your $. You need to determine how you plan to use your new motorhome, how many miles a year, how much time spent traveling vs. being parked, where you want to travel and what type of conveniences onboard do you require. Higher end motorhomes will have different build qualities than lower lines. Manufacturers build their coaches to meet a price point and the quality of fixtures, cabinets, chassis, and appliances are built/used to match that target.

My recommendation, look online at some of the various sources that allow you to search on price, amenities, and lengths. Get an idea of what your budget will allow new and used and then go look at some of the motorhomes you've narrowed the search to. If a lower-end motorhome meets your needs, then your budget will get you into some new units that are 35' and under. If you need or want a different build level, then the used market opens up a lot of possibilities. Take a look at higher end diesel rigs or high-end gassers to get some idea of build quality and appliance differences as you look at motorhomes. Even though you think that you would never want something like that, you will get an idea of what type of quality you are wanting by comparing different price points. If you spend some time looking, you will understand that there IS a difference.
