IMO (& having owned a Keystone Cougar), Mobile Suites is not even in the same class as Keystone. Mobile Suites is way above Keystone for quality.

Don't forget the Excels and Tetons. The Tetons are now orphans but there are still a lot of nice late model used ones around. Also, if you're going used, King of the Road and Newmar's Mountain Aire are noted for high quality.
I agree with the other comments about the Keystones, they're not in the same league as the Mobile Suites. Good luck with whatever you choose, they all have their issues.

definitely don't forget Carriage, its right up there.
I have a 29' Cameo and have lived in it straight now
for over 3 years, is it falling apart? No....in fact the only
thing that is due to be replaced is the batteries, afterall
they are 6 years old that I know of.
Keystone might be ok, but I would not figure them to be
in the upper 5

Another one to consider is Seville by Crossroads. The body is built much like the Mobile Suites but it is priced like a Montana ... best of both worlds. Great full timer floorplans also.

NuWa HitchHikers are right up there with the best of them. I have been very satisfied with my 2007 model that is detailed in the link in my Sig line.

MS and Keystone are like comparing a Cadillac to a base model Malibu. Look at Teton, Hitchiker, Carriage, Excel, Alpenlite, Newmar.
Have fun shopping.

The top 5'er in the country is New Horizons. It is the only 5 star rated unit by RV Consumer's Group who rates RV's. They are custom built to your specs. and are no more expensive than the other highly regarded units.
