I looked at them both, and finally went with the Rockwood 2605, atho I can't say how happy I am with it yet... it's still on order!!! Personaly, the "White" max-light interior was a minus for me... I like the oak woodgrain.
We have an 06 Max Lite ML29BHS. Our unit certainly has some minor fit and finish issues but these are certainly no worse than our previous pop-up. We looked at the similar Surveyor and Passport models but we really preferred the floor plan of the Max Lite. We also had a couple of reservations regarding the Passport. Firstly, these models do not have a rear bumper, so any slight tap at the rear has the risk of body damage. Also, the heating is not ducted under the floor and relies on the furnace output (and a single vent under the dinette), which may not heat the interior well. Regards,
