Are "lemons" still made?
Our 1 1/2 year old trailer has several odd things we've fixed, we're having another one this week and today found a third one. Outlined below, does it seem exceedingly strange that this many things are factory wrong --not broken, but put together wrong --on a brand new trailer?
1) furnace did not work on first trip out. Turned out it wasn't hooked to the thermostat (I chalked it up to mistakes happen last spring).
2) on the way home from a 4800 mile trip this July we nearly blew a tire. When going to replace them discovered that the tires and rims were the wrong size for what was spec'd by weight - these are what came from that factory! Shorting us by over a 1000 pounds. They concede it's wrong and are fixing all this next week.
3) today we finished our last trip for the year, dumped and winterized everything and in rinsing things out I realized I thought the tanks weren't draining the way I thought they should. After some screwing around I've figured out that the gray and black tanks are both stickered wrong and the outlets out of them are hooked up wrong -- the 2" pipe is coming out of the black and the 4" out of the gray!
Add to that the caulk was comign out of the shower before we ever used it and we're getting some peeling on the edges of two cupboards and I'm pretty frustrated. We used it a couple of weeks last year and about 25 nights this year. And we're really not hard on things. Do they still get the occasional lemon? THis seems like shoddy workmanship to me. Am I over-reacting?
Thanks
