2012 Dutchman Voltage Review Before buying my RV I did heavy research on the web so I thought I would add my review for others to do the same. I purchased my Voltage 3905 new at General RV in Feb. 2...

Here is what I can share about my Voltage shopping experience. I visited Camping World here in Mesa, Arizona as they had about 16 Voltage models on the lot. The DW wanted to "touch and feel" the floor plan differences between the models so we spent 2 hours doing so.
Every time the sales person opened a unit up, I was amazed at how "unfinished" and messy they were. The sales person said that they would need a "week" on any Voltage just to make sure it was in "delivery condition". I couldn't believe simple items such as screws on cabinet door hinges could be missing to the point the door almost came off when opening it.
Sawdust, floor laminate pieces, carpet pieces, etc. where everywhere in almost every model. Then, in areas where glue was necessary for finishing, it was obvious no clean up had occurred after said glue application. The light pendants in almost every unit had an issue too.
Overall, I could not believe that a units listed for a MSRP of $115k could be in such a condition, from the factory.
Perhaps I'm spoiled with my Jayco buying experience because all of the Jayco units on the lot where in "take off and camp" condition. We are excited about getting a Voltage despite these observations and others issues; however, they (dealer/manufacturer) will be on their toes from day one on taking care of EVERYTHING.
I agree with many posters on this thread that quality is just not important any more to these manufactures. I call BS on the "it would cost more for better quality..." How about they hire people who take P R I D E in their craftsmanship!?!?
