Shouldn't that be the manufacturer making sure the units "are ready to camp" upon delivery.... but I still think the manufacturer should step up their quality control...
They should, but they will not.
There is no financial incentive to improve the product; they continue to sell regardless of poor quality control.
The RV industry is supported by a myth that is embraced and repeated by RV owners: "When you buy an RV, you should expect that there are things that you are going to have to fix...you need to be "handy" to own an RV..." and on and on and on. A consistent message of low expectations as an emotional immunization against the reality of inevitable failure.
It is a fantastic sleight of hand that the RV industry takes advantage of: "It would be too expensive to build it right, but don't worry, there is always enough time and money to fix it".
