Fulltime Capable RVs

[martymain]

I just read Tucker Ballister's article, "The Best RVs for Full-Time Living." I was disappointed not to see some of the high-end manufacturers and their quality products listed. Manufacturers of 5th wheels like: Spacecraft, New Horizons, Luxe, DRV build sturdy and very well quipped and beautiful RVs that will stand the test of fulltime living and travel. And manufactures of Class A motorhomes like: Liberty, Country Coach, Marathon, and Newell (to name just a few) do a stellar job on the best coaches (most built on Prevost busses) out there.
And to me, conspicuously absent were Super Cs motorhomes (those built on Heavy Duty (semi tractor) Trucks. Again high end manufacturers like; Showhauler, NRC, Haulmark, and Renegade RV.
While all these brands are VERY expensive, most of these RVs are not built in a production-line fashion, but are constructed in a partial or complete custom manner, one copy at a time. For the most part, these units a very well built and last many, many years of fulltime living.
And thought most of these units, new, start at $250k and can rise to at least $1 million each, used units can be had for considerably less. Then they can be upgraded/updated. We did this with a New Horizons 5Th Wheel trailer (see See the Watts on Wheels YouTube video interview and now have a quality unit they can house us for years to come.
Perhaps a future article can cover these high-end units and every updating/re-decorating them.

Quality products? LOL. I have found the quality only exists in the RV Industry on websites and brochures. Go high end, something on a Prevost foundation. Do that and it's clear you have enough coin or credit line/debt to have others maintain and make the repairs which will be needed at some point. High price is no guarantee of anything, especially so quality, which is subjective in itself.

Salesman for high end RVs?

You see people full timing in a wide variety of units. If you don't abuse it, you don't need top of the line. Dual pane windows are nice along with better insulation but even that isn't critical.
