What has happened to Winnebago Quality?

The sad part of this is that quality does not add that much to cost. As an engineer that ended up managing both the engineering dept and manufacturing operation of a company building machinery, it was cheaper to design a product so it could be easily manufactured in a quality way and then building it with some attention to the people building it. The reduction in warranty costs and increased sales more than made up for any extra cost in manufacturing. Indeed, thoughtful engineering often resulted in both lower costs and better quality.

I think Winnebago needs some new management.
