IMO, any of the new motorhomes from most mid level manufacturers are likely to leave the factory with build quality issues. Some will be merely annoying and can be fixed by a competent dealer (hard to find those these days) and some will be major. If you buy new, plan to spend at least the first year working out issues. RV's are not built by a lot of automation like autos and build quality relies heavily on the skill of the workers putting them together and their desire to do it right.
I owned two Winnebago's but they were built before the downturn of 2009. They were both decent coaches. Yes, the roof design is weak and Winnebago should change it. I would not reject an otherwise acceptable coach based on that. However, I would use either Eternabond tape on that seam (a permanent fix) or at least replace the factory sealant with a good urethane sealant like Proflex or 3M4200.
