Lack of quality in RV's, epsecially entry level (like it or not the Palazzo is an entry level DP) will continue to be bad as long as we as consumers enable it. We enable it by buying them. We know it up front, buy them anyway and then complain. Too late. Money was made. Sales will not suffer because people still want them. Rv's are an anolomy in the that they are a heavily depreciating asset, no quality control but fly off the shelves anyway. The reason is there is a low quality standard among all manufacturers. Say what you want they all have problems. Unless there is a company that is willing to stand up, make a better quality product to compete on the entry level market at a competitive price, it will never change.

Hasn't every company that has tried to make even a slightly less-bad unit folded? (Carriage, for example.) Only one that comes to mind that is actually built well is Airstream.

That way leads to less revenue and at the end of the day it's all about money. What's the cheapest product I can make and still get you to buy it. And it works. Educated consumers as we are, buy anyway and then complain that the bargain RV we bought has issues. You can boycott. But then you won't have that brand new RV. Not saying it's right, but that's reality. The ONLY way this will be forced to change is more regulation on quality control. Then you have complaints about Nanny state, guvmint infringement etc. Everyone hates goverment until they need it. Everyone hates cheap quality RV's but they buy them.

Because there is NOTHING ELSE AVAILABLE. It really is that simple.
