I'm this guy. I've ripped out and redesigned a number of things. Lots of simple tricks to make your ac work better. We made our cheap nonadustable fridge adjustable.
Nothing too hard with a little basic wood and electrical skills.

Spend some time on all the brand forums. You won't find any RV better than any other. Doesn't matter if you spend $50,000 MSRP or $120,000 MSRP. You get a way nicer equipped trailer for $120,000 than the $50,000. But they all use many of the same parts and build processes. Same labor market. Same dealers. It's dinosaur design stuck in the 70's as far a s technology goes. Reminds me of 80's cars and trucks compared to todays vehicles.
It really boils down to floor plan, colors and interior styling.

New Horizon appears to be a nice trailer. They have no dealers. You go to their plant in Kansas to place your order and custom design it. That is also where you pick it up. They make their own frames and cabinetry. Used ones can cost you over $100,000.00. I believe they are also 25,000 #s.

I guess this is what seems to set Augusta-RV apart. Instead of the Lippert components that 95% of the rest use, they go with Mor/Ryde, which seem to be better from what I have read on these and other forums. They use different construction techniques than everyone else, build their own frames out of beefier (and heavier) steel and provide beefy suspension with 4000+ lbs of usable payload. They offer choices like residential stoves/ovens which I don't think I've seen anywhere else (my wife would love this). You will never have to deal with an Augusta-RV dealer because there are none. Every RV is ordered factory direct, and can be semi-customized by the purchaser. You either pick up at the factory or pay someone to ship it to your doorstop. I think warranty issues are handled via independent repair shops.
