Thor industries is the parent company of Airstream,Crossroads,Dutchman,Heartland,Keystone, Livin light and Thor Motor coach and all of the many brands and models within each manufacturer. That will narrow your choices considerably and save much time in choosing a manufacturer.
Hi

The quality of all of those brands and their commercial bus division has gone downhill in the last 6 years.

There are 5 companies not owned by Thor. We have had 4 of them look at our Montana and 3 of them gave us a price to duplicate the Montana that was less by a few thousand dollars than what I have paid for this unit after repairing the warranty items denied by Keystone. One was a couple of grand over that dollar figure.

All of them agreed to give me all construction drawings (blue prints) with the trailer including the wiring diagrams. Three of them agreed to let my structures engineer review their construction drawings before I make a deposit.

Two of the five we will not consider because of the frame construction.

You have made a wised choice Phil in not going with a Thor product.
Keep the forum advised on the product you decide to purchase and the problems you will not have.
