Quality control?

Name some names!

Old news.


What surprises me is only 1/2 of what you looked at had issues, that tells me you didn't look hard enough. The RV Industry produces junk across the board. "High end" means nothing. The term Quality Control does not exist in the RV Industry's vocabulary except for BS they put on brochures and websites. The kicker is they've gotten worse over the last 2-4 years, which took a lot of work.

I'm sure there were more issues. One of the brands we looked at 3 units, and all 3 had issues. When I was referring to high end, I was referencing what the industry considers high end at $100K+ 5th wheels.

I agree about old news. I entered a tiffin MH years ago with a side door entry and first thing that caught my eye was a L shaped kitchen cabinet was so out of plumb the part on the driver's side was tight to the ceiling and went down quickly towards the front so the side on the inside wall matched the same issue. Touching at the bottom of the wall and big gap at the top. I have installed many cabinets, so I eye always looks for goof ups. I have helped MH friends' for year's repair inside issues and cheap was most of the reasons 20 winters of 6 month stays so I was a favorite of many. chevman

I think that "Higher End" is fast approaching $200K

Yes. if things keep going like they’re going now, my next fifth wheel will have to be bottom of the barrel for $120,000

As long as American buyers continue to accept mediocrity as the norm, nothing will ever change.

Very True...It should start with sales reps learning their products.

What did the dealer say when you told them the RVs presented as junkers?

The one prefaced it prior to us going in, saying they had issues they still needed to work on. The other said it shouldn't have been like that, however would be repaired prior to being sold.
