Thoughts on manufacturers
Since I'm in the market for a used Class C, out of necessity, I'm open to a variety of different manufacturers. Without wanting this to turn into a brand loyalty debate, what can you guys tell me abou...

I purchased a 2014 Minnie Winnie in June 2013. I have had several issues, some normal, some not normal. I spent the first year talking to Winnebago and taking it to two different Camping World dealers. My problems still existed after these visits. I got only promises from the factory and the dealers.
When the warranty expired I took it a local dealer and paid for several repairs. But I have never resolved a rook leak over the drivers side.
In June of 2018 I took my coach to Camping World in Garner, NC. I spent 2300.00 to have the seams removed and resealed. Still a leak. After two returns I have decided to return it again. I after this visit I'm going to trade. But not for another Winnebago. I don't know what's better. I will just roll the dice again.
I wonder if that leak over the driver's side wasn't from one or more of the five running lights across the front? I believe and will bet that these are rarely suspected or checked concerning "leaking roofs".
I just could not wrap my head around five forward facing lights with their wires penetrating into the wall interior not eventually beginning to leak when driving down the road at speed in a pouring rainstorm ... so many years ago ago I took action to make sure that they would never leak into our Class C's overhead cab area.
Leaking running lights are a no-no in an RV - which is a completely different situation from them eventually just dripping straight down into the vertical walls of big rigs and other commercial vehicles where no one cares or notices. Even in private vehicles such as pickup trucks, these running lights are at least mounted onto solid metal surfaces - as opposed to the flexible and softer non-metal outer walls of RVs.
