Maury -
If it were me, I would make the decision based on why I'm wanting the new unit versus issues I've had in the past. When we upgraded from our 3400 to our 365 Big Sky, we wanted the side aisle and many of the features our 2005 didn't have - like digital televisions, remote landing gears, etc. Remember, almost all manufacturers buy from the same pool of suppliers - Dometic, Dexter, Suburban, etc. Many use Mor Ryde and Lippert for their structural/suspension components. We are on our fourth set of tires, new axles, some frame repair and a few other issues. We love our unit and feel it was built with quality. Would I expect this from my car? No. But we are in essence taking a house on wheels. The stresses are a lot different. I will guarantee that these aren't designed using Finite Element Analysis and many of the other tools the auto industry uses. We wouldn't want to spend the money it would cost to use those tools. Good luck with your decision.
