Normal. It is a fact that if RV manufacturers built in the quality of craftsmanship and of materials that we all want - most of us wouldn't be able to afford them. Thus they are built cheaply and quickly.
I don't mean this to be personal, but I disagree with what you said. In today's world of material science, engineering, and lean production process expertise there is no excuse for the kind of quality we see in RVs IN GENERAL. The science and process knowledge exists to solve this issue of quality and at affordable prices. And, when you add great customer service through a dealership network it caps it off.
I see all the FANCY and somewhat expensive - non functional or less pragmatic - "stuff" in the new toy haulers today and think, they have room in their margins to improve things that really matter.
