No. All QC is not lousy.
Well maybe I over stated that. There is good and bad in new and used. These systems are not like a car. They are way more complicated. They have a ton (maybe only 1/2 a ton) of third party systems. Be careful what you ask for. The worst enemy of a good or great motorhome is the expectation of perfect or near perfect product. The price will likely multiply exponentially.
Also, if everybody started buying used, in ten years you would only have coaches 10+ years old to choose from. That implies that all amenities would be 10+ years old. All MH mfgr would be out of business. And those that like custom orders will not get them.
Be painstakingly thorough in your search and work with the dealer/mfgr to get what is not right corrected and you will likely be as happy as we are with ours. We have had some things repaired under warranty but only a few. BTW, you will not be able to buy our coach at 10 years old, as we will still be using it, God willing.
