Best 5 motorhome manufacturers?

Looking for a good used Diesel Pusher motorhome under $100,000, what would be the top 5 manufacturers to consider?

You're thinking used right?

Newmar would be on my list.
Monaco / Beaver
Foretravel (would be much older)
Winnie / Itasca
Forest River (berkshire)
Fleetwood (Rev or Discovery)
Country Coach

Fleetwood also builds American Coach and would be on my list.

Quality on this forum is subject to personal opinions arrived at from both personal experience and hearsay. Look up what a coach sold for 15 years ago. If it was over $400,000 at that time, it is probably a good quality motorhome. I would put the Newell, Foretravel, Country Coach, Monaco, Navigator, and Beaver in the top six. Itasca, Winnebago, Fleetwood, and Forest River at a much lower bracket. Remember, I said it's all personal opinions.

The $100K Newell and Foretravel are on everyone's list - especially the gold fixtures.

It's hard to spend $100 K perfectly.

Fleetwood is owned by REV as is Amercan Coach but Fleetwood doesn't build American. I would include American coach also.

Right.
And Right again!

On Edit. Think Entegra.

Other than Prevost, Newell and Foretravel. Outside of those I'd look at older Travel Supreme/Entegra, Newmar, Alpine, Monaco, Country Coach or BlueBird.

You would be hard pressed to find a Newell, Prevost or Foretravel for $100K. Or an Entegra for that matter. But a Travel Supreme could be found at that price and that is the forerunner of Entegra.

I only have a gas MH myself and am not a DP expert, but along with Newell and Foretravel being on everyone's list, I notice that Tiffin is on no one's list. I was under the impression that Tiffin is pretty good and that they stand behind their vehicles well; is that impression wrong?

No you're not wrong which is why I am on my third Tiffin from the same excellent dealer. Most people think their's is the best, so I don't promote Tiffin unless asked.

I guess we'd both have to guess at how "old" a unit the OP is willing to go but he can get a "nice" Newell or Foretravel if willing to consider one earlier than a 2000 model year. Prevost maybe mid-1990 or earlier.
