I am becoming more and more convinced that this is a characteristic of the RV industry as a whole, not just one manufacturer.
Most RVs are made in the Elkhart, Indiana area where they also make mobile homes. A motorhome thus is simply a self-propelled mobile home... transportable trailer park units, having the primary function of a tent.
The truth is we'd have to pay significantly more for better built rig, and the market place (us) just won't support a more costly RV. After all, how much money are we willing to spend on our motorized tents. Of course, that is still no excuse for shoddy work by the manufacturer regardless of price point.
So on one hand I am not willing to let a manufacturer off the hook for shoddy work, but on the other hand, we have to look at RVs realistically.
Remember that the only thing that works on a RV is the owner.
