RV Quality and it's absence
I've been looking at and documenting TT quality for 25 years since we got our first tent trailer. We've had five other trailers since then and just purchased our first MH.
RV quality varies a lot. Enough to make your head spin. It varies by year, by manufacturer, by brand, by model, and by day of the week the rig was made.
I see it as a management issue. The workers are hired to do a job in a given amount of time and the training, tools, techniques, materials, design and incentives are all provided by management.
Modern (last 40 years) quality engineering and management are notably not to be found in the RV industry and no amount of after the fact inspection will materially improve on poor material selection, poor engineering, poor manufacturing support and what we might call poor management.
Caveat emptor!
