The Starcraft Launch Outfitter 21FBS is quite similar to the Coachman Freedom Express already mentioned here. We have been very happy with ours for the last two years. So maybe another option to consider.
Friends with whom we camp frequently have a 2015 model of the Starcraft 21FBS and are generally quite happy with it and especially like the 8 cu ft fridge. What they're not happy with is the too short 12' awning which doesn't cover the bedside window on the campsite side and IIRC the too short 74" queen bed. Ours has that too but I managed to extend the bed platform to a full 80", new versions of of the 192RBS now have a full length 80" bed. What I don't care for is it's rather limited cargo carrying capacity compared to our FE's 2000+ lbs of CCC. Perhaps all this is moot though as the OP seems to have left the building. :S
Yes, it's not perfect, but it's good for us right now, and it's what we could afford at the time we purchased. I'm not even sure we came across the Coachman in our looking; we'd probably have given it some consideration if we had. Yes, it would be nice if the awning came across the window and yes we'd like a longer bed. Well, DH would anyway; I don't really care. We've temporarily solved that problem with a bolster at the head, but we have thought about extending the platform and getting a full length mattress. We'll see...maybe we'll just move up to a fifth wheel... ;)
