Ha !
I looked at when you came on RV. net, and when I saw the date, I figured it was obvious.
It is not what you state at all.
Plain and simple they are producing junk today with the worst workmanship and materials that exist
I bought my first travel trailer twenty years ago and put 20,000 miles on it with out a problem including a round trip to Alaska.
Then we wanted a little bigger one, so we bought a 25 footer ten years ago. We never had a problem with that one either and put about 10,000 miles on it.
Last year we sold it and bought a brand new 37 footer which is permanently on a site. I towed it from the dealers, two miles (2) to the site, and it is nothing but a piece of junk.
I could fill a page here with every thing that either went wrong or flat out broke.
I have built two houses from the ground up, including the wiring and the plumbing and I can tell you that nothing for sale today is built as shoddy as an Rv unless you buy one of the absolute few high end ones.
