Well maybe a 2.5 million $$ Marathon but likely they take the time to build it correctly. Bottom line the time to identify and point out these defects is BEFORE buying and paying. After that it's your issue your problem. Small bubbles might be fixed by pricking the bubble, injecting some adhesive, and rolling it down, but screws, debris under the flooring is another sign of a poorly built RV that you bought. Next time look at one more carefully and don't accept crap.

Sometimes these sorts of things are "revealed" after the inspection...in our case, the floating floor (it's like a waterbed almost) appeared three weeks after the delivery, 5 days into a trip and four states away from the dealer. Everyone I'm talking too is a bit nervous because of the cost of any possible repair (an unlikely event). But I wouldn't assume that the owner didn't inspect the rig carefully nor that they purchased crap. I'm not sure I would refer to our new OMNI XG32 as such, but we do have two massive bubbles totally about 6 sq feet and rising about 1/2-3/4 inches...worse when the heater goes on. Back to the dealer in two months for a look-see.
