Kestrel Take
A popular value gas Class C — the Four Winds 28Z offers a family-friendly bunkhouse floorplan at an accessible price on the proven Ford chassis. Thor builds to a price, so water intrusion, build quality, and slide reliability are the watch-items. A dry, well-kept Four Winds is a lot of family RV for the money; the roof/seal, cabover, and slide inspection is everything, and the Ford chassis is easy to service anywhere.
