I can't tell the difference just looking at the company splash on the
internet. Any help is appreciated.

The differences are in color schemes and exterior graphics. The
quality for the same level of trim lines is the identical. They are
produced on the same assembly lines with exactly the same components.
Fleetwood also sells identical trailers under different brands, such
as Prowler, Wilderness, and Terry. Fleetwood's strategy is that they
can achieve more market saturation this way. They have different
dealerships in the same market area each peddling a separate brand.

I don't know Betty we have owned three of them as our needs changed, two
prowlers and now our Savanna and we have nothing but good things to say
about ours.

I owned a 22 foot Jamboree bought new in 1995 and sold in 2000. Best damn
motorhome ever. Bought a new 2000 Winnebago 24 foot and what a piece of
junk.
Well I guess sometimes you get good ones and sometimes you get bad ones.

We almost bit on a Tioga. We signed a contract with a salesman, but
the next day the salesman called and said another salesman had a
previous contract but he didn't think the buyer would get a loan. The
salesman should have known if there was a previous contract. I
personally think they got the offer from a buyer whose credit was
shaky after I signed a contract. They wanted to keep me on the hook
till they found out if the other buyer could get credit.
I'm happy to say that I demanded they cancel the contract, because
I have since learned that Winnebago is a much better motorhome.

IMHO, the quality has to do with price point more than anything else, for
example a Born Free unit has much higher quality and a correspondingly
higher price.

The myth that a high price assures quality is why Cadillac commands
such obscene prices for gussied-up Chevys. The wise shopper will not
be misled by hoopla!

NS,
Tell me more about your bad Winnebago experience. I haven't bought
yet, but I sure like Winnebago's dual glazed windows, the rain gutter,
the fiberglass roof and the way the weight is balanced. And the folks
at the factory have always given me straight answers to my questions -
which is more than I can say for their dealers.
Thanx, Dale

Not true Will, our STS Cadillac is much more of an automobile than our
Chevy. But I would not purchase a new STS now with the stricker price close
to $60,000. But I agree that price alone that not assure a quality product.

I've owned 2 Tioga's and I absolutely loved them! My second one is 10 years near and drives like a dream! When from a 27' 1989 to a 24' 1998. Love the V10 for pulling my boat! Solid construction! Keeps us super warm in fridgid winter camping times! Cool in the summer! Love Fleetwood! Owned a 1984 Fleetwood trailer before this! Loved it too! In fact, two hippie girls are living in both the RV and Trailer I sold. They love them!
