Coachmen (Mixed tier): Aluminum-caged, Azdel-composite Class C on a Ford E-450 - better built than the budget Class C pack, but Coachmen motorhome QC and warranty-service complaints keep it out of the top tier.

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; 11-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ
