You can hear the good, the bad, and the in-between from any owner of about any brand on the various brand specific websites. Unless it's been a total lemon, any owner is going to boast proud ownership of his current model. All that being said, coming from one that has spun wenches on several Montanas, FR products, and Jayco products ... the good days peaked in the 2010 - 2014 time frame. Yes there is more "bling" on current models and that will continue as that is what draws many buyers in today's markets. Quality of the basic structure and sub components has slid in recent years, but many RV owners keep their units only 3-5 years then trade. It's the people that buy those used RV's that really experience the short life cycle of many of those components. We live in a throw away world ... 20 years ago, if your weed eater or chainsaw's carb need a kit ... you went and bought one. Today manufacturers just push you to buy a new carb as kits are becoming just something to tell the grand kids about.
