How many coaches the other guys build?
#4

Harry back a few years ago I was on mission to find the best of the best. I toured almost all the RV mfg at the time. There was a significant difference between makes. The sidewalls are sandwich construction, glued and vacuum- bonded together. ARIZONA HEAT debonds some of the sidewalls , you can see the waves. .some have fiberglass roofs some rubber, some of the fiberglass roofs are a flat sheet and rolled over the edge..cracks form there. Some are molded. At the time I was looking at a new Mountain Air. The warranty was better on the rubber roof. I looked at New Monaco's. They built most stuff. They had a wiring harness dept .. My selection was a country coach. Then 2008 happened.. That's when I learned about Newell's and was very happy I didn't buy the CC. The only way to really understand is to see em built. Most of them build more in a mo than Newell does in a year. I grew up in the industry. My dad's factory pushed out 17 14x70 homes a day.. Many RV factories exceed that many times over.
Another point that concerned me the most, was front end collision safety.. Some only have a bit of fiberglass between the driver and the impact zone. Some of the lessor coached have refrigerators in the cockpit...

My advise take factory tours.. N compare.
