Fleetwood (Mixed tier): Fleetwood's top diesel line: Freedom Bridge XCM chassis with V-Ride air suspension, Vacu-Bond aluminum-framed laminated walls with no wood substrate, hardwood cabinetry - built better than the Bounder, but REV-era finish quality and dealer support still run behind Newmar and Tiffin.

FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: 8-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

A lot of diesel coach for the money against Newmar and Tiffin - the full-wall slide and residential kitchen are the draw. Cross-shop on dealer service, not on the spec sheet.
