You are making a great argument for "NOT PURCHASING ANY NEW MH". They are all JUNK because of lack of QC, PDI, and work ethic. You have convinced me. I will invest my money in Airplanes and Condo's. Stay away from the Junk.
Theres a rv show here with some 30 rv's and none had a hole in the wall, not 1. So no, it's not an argument to never buy an rv new. It is an argument to tell the dealer and the manufacturer to build one without a hole in the wall. Or at the very least, put people in place that can find these problems and fix them before the weather has a chance to cause damage.
I also have never seen a hole in the wall on the side of any new motorhome I've ever looked at. So is it possible this is why it wasn't found in PDI because it never happens and nobody was looking for a tiny hole like this?
Of course, however the OP did indicate thats where he saw it.
"My wife and I are purchasing a 2014 Winnebago Vista and travelled to the dealer on Saturday for initial inspection. It looked great, just what we wanted..except during the manufacture a screw from the inside had punctured the exterior wall and left a small hole."
Actually, if you read closely, the OP doesn't say how it was found or if he's the one that found it. It's possible the dealer found it and pointed it out to him. We may not ever know because I think the OP is still running the opposite direction away from the fire storm this thread has become.
