We've put ~17k miles on our 21 3226 and like it very much. We've had some issues both chassis and Newmar, but oiverall would still buy again. I think you have to expect to continually address mechanical and maintenance issues with any coach. It may be your last coach but it will need some attention along the way.
Chassis
Ford recalls ... rear diff oil & rear stabilizer bolts
Parking brake ... failed to fully release & destroyed itself, complete
replacement
Pinion seal on rear diff failed and had to be replaced
Our nearest Ford service location is 180 mi away, know where yours is
Newmar
Entry door fit is poor, screen door replaced once
Entry step mechanism broke, had to be rebuilt
Awning wind sensor goes thru batteries quickly
Bath door top hinge broke, rebuilt
Furnace shuts down intermittently, still chasing
Water heater issues (on propane) in high wind, still chasing
EQ leveling system auto function doesn't work, use manually
