They stay in business because more than 99.8% of the things they supply (from frames on down) never have a problem.
When you produce the volume that they do, even 0.2% or less becomes a large enough number to be noticed, particularly when the complainers expect perfection at a reasonably low price.
Given a high enough price for the product, the manufacturer (Lippert) can reduce the failure rate as far as the consumer desires.
All it takes is money!
Of course, most of us could never afford another trailer.
