Any warnings on brands to beware of?
I posted a few months ago about looking to upgrade our 2015 Jayco 19FRB to a similar size trailer but with one slide. After hours looking at floor plans, I've found a few that would work for us, from...

This thread reminds of the our local tv channel new girl reporter. She did a survey around town of auto repair shops on which car had the most customer complaints...the Ford Taurus had the most complaints by 20 percent.
Old reporter on another tv station made another survey about which car had the most sales in the same city....the Ford Taurus had the most sales by the same 20 percent margin.
Finally, someone posts the true reality of how folks opinions can bend the truth.
Honestly, OP if you are still with us, FORM YOUR OWN "OPINION".
ALL RVs are built the same way with the same materials and construction, employing manufacturing methods going back to Henry Ford with an assembly line. RV manufacturers pump out thousands of units per yr using teams of workers who do small parts of the assembly. Not one person works from start to finish on all units, each team builds a part, that part gets integrated into the assembly and it is moved to the next station where the next part is installed.
Once all assembled, it may or may not be fully "inspected", depends on the plants QA policy.
What I am getting at is that there will be good units and there will be a few bad units.
There tends to be MORE good than bad for any manufacturer.
The bad ones do eventually get fixed under warranty.
If buying used, pretty good chance that the previous owner shook out most if not all the issues and now you are left with a unit that if the previous owner took care of it will be fine. If the previous owner ignored the routine maintenance and water damage has happened then you may have a problem to deal with.
Best bet is to find a RV that MEETS YOUR NEEDS whether it is a specific layout design, color, decor and size.
Once you find what you like, then make a deal and go camping..
No need for all the fence sitting and drama of peoples opinions of what they consider quality or best..
You can read opinions until you are dead and never get the chance to go camp if you let others decide for you..
