Thanks for the insight. I guess one of the more famous (infamous?) dissatisfied Winnebago customers was winnebagoera.com. I read his horror story with his ERA (on the Dodge Sprinter chassis) and still bought our 2016 ERA 70X. David, who posted above yours, mentions that Winnebago workers are the best workers in America. Maybe so, but perhaps the Winnebago systems are not what they should be. There appears to be little concern with the fit and finish of the Winnebago products. Seems to me that an automated saw could cut out most of the wood and trim pieces, but if you look at a new Winnebago, they seem to be each cut separately by someone who is not skilled with power tools (ragged edges, misaligned joints, etc.) Don't get me wrong, we are fond of our new RV. But Winnebago needs to put more focus on quality. I'm tired of the excuse "you get what you paid for". I hear that a lot when commenters are replying to posts by consumers of other RVs, MH, TT, etc. As RV consumers, I'm not sure why we seem resigned to the status quo of mediocre build quality. I am lucky in that McClain's has done right by me with my warranty issues. Anyway, complaining sure makes for good forum content.
