Information gets outdated very quickly as the industry changes....Forest River was complete junk in the early 2000's when Sunnybrook was considered the quality standard....then they started making junk, went out of biz, then FR quality started improving. Fleetwood was good for many years, went to junk, made a brief comeback and then folded their towable division.
As rvparkowner noted, pay attention to components....stay away from cable-driven slides, undersized axles and without self-adjusting brakes, etc. If you want to see how a TT is made, look in the dead spaces behind cabinets where pipes and wires are run to see if holes were cut or just made with a hammer, see how many screws are driven straight vs on an angle, etc.
