I beg to differ. Our Mobile Suites came with equipment such as the MorRyde independent suspension system, Kodiak disc brakes, Goodyear G114 17.5" tires, Progressive Dynamics PD9280 converter, Progressive Industries power protection and energy management systems, SeeLevel non-intrusive tank level monitors, Trailair TriGlide pinbox extension, etc. These are generally recognized as quality components in the RV industry, are they not?
Now, quality control during assembly is another matter. We had 10 years of excellent service from our 2004 MS 36RE3, and it was still in excellent condition when we traded it in; we upgraded since I was about to retire and figured that our current 2014.5 MS 38RSSA would probably be our last RV. To this point, the 2014.5 has been at least as good as the 2004. Perhaps that's because it was built well at the factory, or perhaps that's because the dealer was very thorough in his make ready process. Either way, the result has been the same for us - as I said, it hasn't seen a repair facility of any kind (let alone the factory) since delivery.

Rusty you are not wrong . Just seems quality is not great for most folks. We also have been very lucky for our 15 year old alpenlite. We have had repairs but not long drawn out stories trying to have repairs done and be done. Never needed to have alpenlite factory repairs before they were done. 122 miles to their factory would have been good for us if needed. I enjoy your posts.
