What is the most cheapest terribly built RV out there? the cheapest I ever seen was an Open Road a neighbor had when I lived in NC. are they that cheaply made? or is there a cheaper one? any tho...

One thing I've learned in my 10 years and owning 6 different RV's from various manufacturers is that ANY company can build or put out a poor quality motorhome. That being said, this is one purchase where the old adage "you get what you pay for" holds true in my opinion. Motorhomes range from $85K to well over 1.5 million......My first RV was a small class B gulfstream. Drove fine but the workmanship wasn't all that great. I also owned a top of the line Winnebago Vectra...I loved it and it was surely built better than my gulfstream but it too had issues. I now own a $500K + truck conversion.....fit and finish is great, drives like a charm but it too had some issues although much fewer and easy to fix. I've got a friend that bought a 2009 Prevost with a sticker price of 1.4 million new (he paid $650K) and he has been chasing an electrical problem for months.
The key to me is the service after the sale and that has alot to do with the dealer. I will say that Winnebago stood behind their product even after the warranty ran out.
Bottom line is that you will most likely find very happy owners and very unhappy owners with EVERY brand of motorhome.
