Best Quality RV Manufacturers to Look For

We're looking at probably upgrading the TT this summer since we decided to keep the truck, maybe something like an Airstream, nice 5er, or just a bigger TT.

The TT I have now was made by Fleetwood. Bought it new in July '03. I am not at all impressed with the build quality or the materials in the coach, especially the slightly warping countertops and particle board cabinetry. It's still a good coach and doesn't leak and should last for years--but I keep it clean and waxed and take care of it.

For our next one, though I want to get something that will last for a good 10-20 years. That's one reason why I'm thinking about the Airstream. But they are so frigging expensive!

Fleetwood is out of the question based on the unimpressive quality of my current camper. I liked Bigfoot but they didn't make anything big enough and they are out of business now.

Of the other manufacturers (that are still left) such as Jayco, Montana, etc. which ones strike you guys as the best in terms of good quality versus cost?
