Typical Class-C frame. Built on a truck frame.
About that article you referenced, I think most of it is coming from a very biased individual who is trying to bloister his own choice of RV. Granted, there are some legitimate ideas he presents, but they also have to be taken with a grain of salt and there is STILL the user responsibility for care and maintenance.
Drive your brand new car around for 1 year without washing it, inflating the tires, doing the routene oil changes and fill the tank with good gasoline and see how long it last too. Same is true with any RV. They are only as good as their owner keeps them. That's the bottom line. And yes .... every one of them is a money pit, expensive hobby, that requires lots and lots of attention to maintain.
One thing the article did say that I do agree with.... Unlike a stick and built home, and RV bounces down the road at 70 mph. This will get shook up! What do you expect?
If CLASS-C were built THAT shoddy, no one would ever buy them. So think about that? RV sales of all types, are extremely strong and showing no signs of slowing down. If the industry was THAT bad, there simply would not be an industry, they'd all be out of business from lack of sales. Think about it.
When reading reviews, you've always got to consider the source and which glasses they are looking through. For every 1 negative response, there are a multitudes of positive experiences that never get reported.
