... or are you just asking for trouble?
If the size/length is right, the floor plan and accessories all suite your needs, and if the classier items like solid wood drawers/cabinets, leather seating, fancy tile and high end counter tops doesn't really matter that much to you, is there any reason you can't be happy and make one of the lower priced motorhome models last for many years?
I keep asking myself what on the cheaper coaches I would have to worry about. It seems like most, if not all these days, ride on the same chassis, have same engines (Ford V10), same showers, TV types, DVD and other entertainment features. Solid nice looking solid counter tops seem standard now, along with GPS, Sirius radio, charging ports for cell phones, generators, the ball bearing sliding drawers, pull down night shades, centralized air/heat, backup/side cameras, same appliances for the most part, same type of improved roofs, auto hydrolic levelers, etc. For a few hundred dollars one can always upgrade the mattress, faucets, put on MaxxFans, satellite system, solar battery chargers, better inverters, and other things that might not come or be available on a cheaper coach.
Am I missing some important things that should be taken into account when going cheap over more expensive? Aren't you getting pretty much the same coach without the frills and more upper class decor/items? I am speaking of low end products in the discounted price range of $80-$100k, like the Thor Ace/Axis, Fleetwood Flair, Holiday Rambler Admiral, Winnebago Vista, Itasca Sunova, or the $100k class C 2018 Dynamax Isata 4.
