A brief follow-up to my previous post:
I knew nothing about Georgetown or Forest River when we bought it. We just wanted that size of rig in the price range it sat. The fact that it was a private sale from the original owners from new was a bonus.
We did have a water incursion into the dining room slide due to a rotted out slide topper, mainly because I hadn't realised how bad the topper was. Fortunately it didn't wet anything else except the upper cabinets in the dining area. They got moldy, so I made replacements.
During my take-out and replace efforts, I got to see some of FRs "out of sight" build standards. I was less than impressed, particularly with the electrical wiring, but not enough to recommend strongly against FR.
Also, you're not going to see any "Chevy" Class As. There are quite a few older ones on Workhorse-branded chassis, which were a Chevrolet product at one time. GM sold the division off quite a while ago, and Workhorse-based rigs are fairly scarce.
Watch out for the "knock-kneed" ones. WH made the dually chassis like it was a dually pick-up, adding outside wheels to the back axle. On a slab-sided rig like a class A, this puts the front wheels a long way under the edge of the body. The last couple of years of WH production this weirdness went away.
