Order of brand of campers?

What order would you put popups for quality? As in Fleetwood, Viking, Starcraft, ect........... I know there are more brands but not sure of all the names.

The list is subjective.  I don't know of any hard data that rates PUs with problems that they have.

Exactly. Ask 100 people, and you will get 147 lists.

This is similar to asking how we would rate vehicle brands...You might open a can of worms.

I was thinking more of like Yugo, hyundai, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Rolls Royce. Are there cheaper models that you would stay away from?

No, all brands have users which are quite satisfied and would buy again.  Unlike autos, most all components in popups like the refrigerator, vent fan, stove, lights, water pumps, electrical components, hitches, stabilizers, jacks, and even in some cases lift systems are made by the same standardized RV manufacturers.  The primary pop up manufacturer only has differing floor plans, different fabrics inside, and different exterior materials, each of which have their distinct advantages and disadvantates.

By the way, even with your automobile list you give as an example, I would sure buy another Hyundai before a Chevrolet or Cadillac. I have had a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe as a tow vehicle and my wife has a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT. The new Hyundai Genesis luxury V-8 powered car looks great and would in my opinoin be a better buy than a Lexus or Caddy. (http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/) For me, Hyundais have been much more trouble free and held their value better than the GM products we have owned.  I'm sure there are others who would disagree, which is why such a ranking would also be futile for pop-ups.

I'm sure each manufacturer has they're strengths just as each has their weeknesses. I own a 1997 Coleman Santa Fe and it has served us very well for 11 years so in my book I rate it as tops.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that line up of auto manufacturers.  I have to say; High-N-Dry has certainly made some huge quality and styling advancements since they first started selling here.  They're probably the most improved car company selling in America.
