About the only difference between most RVs is the name. Everything else is widely shared and simply based on cost.

When we were shopping, we had narrowed it to three contenders. Keystone Hideout, Coachmen Catalina, and Forest River Wildwood.
(Yeah, F.R. owns Coachmen, but they supposedly have separate manufacturing.) All were built with virtually the same components, with only slight variations in looks and floor plans. We went with the Wildwood because it was the one my local dealer carried. When the air conditioning died, It sure was nice not having to drag it 300 miles to get it worked on.
