Any Winnebago factory workers lurking?

I do not own a Class B at this time. I own a C. That being stated let me add that we had three Class Bs over the years. The fit and finish on all of them was very good to excellent. I am a stickler about these things and our last B was a 2007 Roadtrek 210P we ordered new as a present to each other for our thirtieth wedding anniversary. The quality was very good and the fit and finish were completely acceptable. That said, I don't think in the finite details it was as good as our old 1996 Roadtrek 190P.

Given that background here is my question:

We will, I am sure, return to the Class B world in a year or two and we want to start looking at them again. Given the demise of the old Chevy, Ford and Dodge vans from which Bs were built for decades and the opportunities for new chassis selections the choices are much broader now than in the past. My question to those that have owned Bs for many years and have newer ones now is simply how is the quality of the, say, 2013-16 models compared to those manufactured ten or so years ago? Brand new quality vs past quality?

Simple answer - not as good. I have made it a policy to check out as many new Class B's as possible each and every year. I have not found anything that would made me want to trade in my current 2002 Chevy 190P which I have owned for 10 years. It has had few RV related problems in all those years and has never has been to an RV dealer shop. The older Class B's built on Dodge and Chevy chassis before 2003 (end of the Dodge van) were extremely well built and I know of many with 180 to 250 thousand miles on them and still running great
