Hi everyone! Just starting to shop for our RV (5ht wheel, 2 adults, no pets) for next year's retirement plan (part time to start with!) Currently living in MN tho that may change later.
We are feeling a little discouraged today. I have done A LOT of reading about how certain rv manufacturers were better and some we should stay away from. So yesterday we went to about a half dozen dealer lots to walk thru some to see what we liked...found 2 we liked the layout and coloring, so we got home and looked up reviews only to see most gave a rating of 3 out of ten for the overall quality of that rig. We don't want to waste whole days of driving around looking only to learn we should have ignored those too (we avoided keystone and anything made by thor since we read many places that their quality was not so good.)
So how do we narrow down our search if the articles about who is good and who is bad seem to contradict themselves?
Also, we do not plan on buying new, but want to see some layouts and details to settle on a brand and size.
Any advise would be so appreciated so we don't give up before we start! What brands are consistently better and which are consistently not? Or does each brand have a basic model that's not great but mid and upper level models that are better?
I'm back to feeling overwhelmed after thinking I had done so much research...
Help! ?
