I would think ALL manufactures inspect/reject all out sourced products.
Many companies set up a outside sourse for parts/assemblies fabrication. The sourse is given the engineering specs to fab the part. After completing the first article the company sends a inspector to buy or reject the first part. Once the first part is bought no other parts are inspected after they arrive at the assembly plant. If down the line assembly finds the parts are bad and don't fit up the assy line workers are rtequired to fix the parts or fix around so the line doesn't shut down.
This is called "first time buyoff". This is how our aircraft companies works nowdays. I would assume a RV manufacturer are no different.
