Not to rain on the parade, but you can look at a quarterly earnings statement from Winnebago and see its not as rosey as you would like to think. Lower profits were as a result of increased warranty claims and sales of lower margin products. In an attempt to get cheaper and increase production, the quality suffered.

I assure you I've been to more RV shows than any person should. But again, the same argument could be made for cars. Buy an older, used, top of the line model or would you rather have something new that suits your needs with a more modern styling?

Did you own a REV, have personal experience with one? I'd be curious to know specifically what items are junk? And not just to hit a price point. I know on the Winnebago Trend, they use styrofoam filled, high pressure laminate countertops (to save weight of course), plastic sinks, multi-piece shower surrounds...very similar to other mfg's at that same price point.

As for cutting corners to replace rubber with fiberglass, not sure why anyone would have to...the cost difference between the two is about $125. it really comes down to installation and what you're used to. If a plant installs rubber roof...fiberglass throws them a curve (and vice versa).

Yeesh Im half expecting you to say the REV is better then a Leisure Travel Van next. Im sorry you bought the REV. But if it works for you great. Personally id never buy one. The construction of the box is just flat out poor. Interior finishes and construction are right there with the rest of the bottom dwelling RVs on the market. And of course the ridiculousness of the single rear wheel on a RV that size. Id hate to ever see someone blow out a rear tire on one of those. Well, thats assuming they can even put two people in the RV without going over the weight limit.
