You need to understand that the "quality" of most RV's would have the builders of Trabants hanging their heads in shame. Compared to a typical RV, a 1987 Hyundai an AMC Gremlin, or a Yugo is a paragon of quality.
"Trabants" - musical group or car?
Speaking of Trabants, Yugos - and Lemons......
Ever talk to someone who works (or worked) at a USA auto mfg plant?
(As in - "The Big Three")
Different kind of "Gremlins" - there's Monday morning -and Friday night- cars/trucks.
The "line" doesn't hang their head in shame - they fix it and ship it out with all the rest.
There's "fixit" folks that can accomplish wonders that any body man would be proud of.
Only the most seriously destroyed cars/trucks go to the crusher.
How about "break-in" time?
Do you "baby" your new car/truck for the first 500 miles?
(Maybe this should (somehow) apply to RVs)
About 1 minute full throttle on "the rollers", then (at least at the now closed Van Nuys GM plant) - a guy hops in the finished vehicle and goes flat out about 5 football fields away in the pk/storage lot.
Then 5 guys hop back in a car and return - and start over again.
Hood adjustment for accurate "fit" = *NOT* a BMW - but a BRM.
Big Rubber Mallet.
Ya just gotta know how to make Lemonade out of Lemons (if you can).:W
