I was recently at the Howe service center (trailer was there for 7 weeks).

44 cabinet doors were replaced and one closet door.
At least 2 of the new doors are warped, not sitting flat.
Medicine cabinet door is a very off shade
Closet door should have been replaced as pair. Two different colors, two different grains and on the new door the raised panel is warped.

The cabinets.
Fast constructions, maybe without clamps. Many areas where the adjoining wood parts are not flush.

Drawer slides are low quality.
Garbage can drawer slides were replaced (don’t know why, I had already replaced them). The are a cheap part. The new garbage drawer slides failed today, 1 week.

Sitting in my recliner right now looking at the row of drawers next to the TV. All three drawers are not parallel to each other.

Maybe DRV doesn't contract with the Amish builders...of the variety of issues owners have with the MH's, you rarely hear of a significant cabinet issue.
