I just bought a 1996 Class A diesel pusher after looking at a lot of RV's. I read not to buy a new RV for your first one because you are not really sure what you want in an RV and really won't know until you have owned one. I was lucky to have friends that bought before I did so when I traveled with them I could check things out to see what I liked. I chose an A class because I think they look better, drive better, hold there value better, less wind noise, better drivers view, made on a chassie for an RV. I chose a diesel pusher because of better resale, better mileage, engine in rear so it is quiet up front, diesel does not work as hard as gas engine,( I haul my boat with my diesel Ford truck and do not notice diesel smoke on boat). I also got a slide because of resale, the rv gets real big and Nigel said so. I think the qualty of most was pretty cheap until you started to get in the higher price range over 200K (I am a custom home builder though). You just have to buy what is in you budget.
