IMO, all RV's are cheaply made. You just have to keep looking hard enough to find it on some of them.
Given enough time and road miles:
Any motorhome whose cage is made out of wood (vs metal) is going to have problems. Any metal cage that is not welded will have problems (best on two sides.) Any motorhome whose basement cage is steel and not rustproofed will have problems. Any motorhome whose floor is chip wood vs plywood will have problems. Any motorhome that has end caps will have problems. Any motorhome that has a flat roof vs an arched will have problems.
Now you can have all of the above, and still have a good rig. But it's going to be because of the owner, and not the manufacturer.
