What happens from time to time is an RV line or model will become really popular. The factory tries to keep up with demand and unfortunately quality begins to suffer. At the time ours was built the factory was running three shifts to try and keep up with demand...so you can imagine lots of stuff would be left for the next shift to take care of all the while the next shift had to keep on schedule so it would leave the stuff for the third shift. The next day the first shift would start on something else thinking the other shifts took care of it. The QC inspectors were over worked so they let stuff slip and hoped the dealer would catch it.
The 5th wheel we bought had lots of quality issues. It took several trips back to the factory (closer than the dealer) to get everything taken care of to our expectations. The 5th wheel is now 20 years old and hasn't had a one problem that can be attributed to build quality.
So you may be better off in staying with the current RV.
