Go to the mfg web site and look. Usually their web sites will show trwilers in order or price point. Thats a good starting point.

Can anyone tell us where the Brookstone Coachman fifth wheel falls as far as ratings? We don't want want anything cheaply made, but decent. Can anyone give an honest opinion. Or comparison? Thanks!

At one time (2011 and 2012) I had the Coachman Brookstone 5th wheels ranked with other manufactueres top 5th wheel. I recently looked at them again and now think they are below the Jayco Pinnacle.

But I still think they are in the 2nd tier of 5th wheels. They are not Luxe, DRV, RiverStone so they are in the next tier.

Here’s a recent review of a Brookstone unit you might find interesting.

Let me start by saying I'm new and looking for a 5th wheel myself. I have not seen a Brookstone in person, but it is one I have on my list to look at.
I think a positive feature is they are using Azdel in place of Luan on the exterior and interior walls. IMO you should never have a problem with delamination it is also lighter. The guide i purchased list Mfgs by P- Premium, AA- Above average and E-economy. For whatever reason Coachmen trailers are rated AA and the 5th wheels are rated E. Comment Good Selection Decent Quality. That being said I still plan on looking at them.
On my short list is Jayco north point, probably out of my price point. Want to stay south of $60. Bighorn 3375SS, Brookstone, and Sanibel.
Leaning towards the Bighorn.

We have a 2015 315RL. Purchased it in Sept '19 and have pulled it 3500+ miles. So far, we are very pleased. Small stuff like a few pieces of molding coming loose and 2 drawer latches that are broken. Nothing major. I like the fact that it is a 12" I-beam construction. It weighs about the same as our old Montana that was 3' longer.

Here is a video that is very informative.

While I was typing my response, the little voice in the back of my head said "you will regret posting this".
