Pull out the bulkhead and find the water connections to the pump aren't even finger tight....

I'm not sure that it's a lack of quality. All that bouncing on the road is naturally going to loosen up any screw on type water fitting. Checking that they are tight is a part of routine maintenance. Unfortunately this isn't mentioned in most manuals. Often people (myself included) learn that this has to be done after finding a puddle somewhere in the RV.
