Quality Class A makers

Rodz,
I always hate hearing stuff like this. We all spend way too much $$$ for ANY of them not to preform as they should.

Was your more construction related, components (A/C, Fridge, Water pump, etc) or chassis?

Just wondering.

First time out the jacks wouldn't retract. Needed the heat one night as temp got into the low 50's. Dry camped and went to bed at 10 pm. Woke up at 2:30 with no heat. The batteries were down to 9 volts. Won't last 3 hrs with nothing on but the furnace. Noticed a breeze and wind noise from a side window, the frame was installed wrong and the glass overlapped the frame and didn't sit in the weather strip channel. A storage door came open while driving, it was so far out of adjustment that I couldn't get it to close. I had to actually bend the latch because there wasn't enough adjustment. It was in the shop for 2 months for electrical gremlins. The first time I emptied the rear black tank, I removed the cap and the whole tank unloaded on everything including me. The gate valve was glued in the partially open position. I turned the water valve to fill the tank and the handle fell off. Headed out for a trip and about 30 miles into it, a guy flagged me to pull over. The right tail lamp assembly fell out and was swinging around on the harness and beat the rear body panel real good. Tore up the paint and damaged the stainless trim. The electrical gremlins continued. After a night dry camping (no furnace this time) the batteries were dead in the morning and I couldn't put the slides in. I kept messing with it until I got the generator started to get things charged up enough to retract the slides. We stopped at a restaurant and when we came out the batteries were very low and barely got the steps in. Stopped for gas, this time everything was dead and I couldn't get the generator started or get the steps in. I was so fed up with it that I drove home with the steps over half way out not caring at that point if I tore them off or not. When I got home I plugged it into shore power and one of the batteries blew up. Took the whole side out it. I won't even get into all the little things that went wrong. We had it set up to drop it off in the fall and leave it until it was fixed. By this time we hated it so bad we just wanted it gone. I will say the new Ford chassis is very good on ride and handling even in strong cross winds and it pulls the hills better than any of my previous DP's, 300 hp Cummins, 350 hp Cat and 350 hp Cummins and we really liked the floor plan with the bath and a half. It's all about poor workmanship. None of those things should have happened and wouldn't if there was a quality control program in place with better educated management.
