Brand with best quality control?

As I do some research for my first RV, I have found that some owners report problems with their units, even brand new. While some of these problems may be minor, like a loose screw, I'm wondering which brands stand out from the rest when it comes to quality control.

  • Googling the brands will bring up issues with every one and usually the issue is amplified by the inaction and/or incompetence of the dealer's service personal.

    When I was researching for a fiver last winter and spring, I gave up trying to find a leading quality brand, seems they change names faster than the rating systems can keep up with them.

    My wife and I visited several dealers looking for the quality brands, that was fruitless, sales people were interested in selling what had the best spiff for them.

    We then visited camp grounds asking campers not only their thoughts on trailer brands but on dealers. That was very interesting to say the least. We went with a coach that had a good following, was well spoken of, was designed for full time living and all season. After a season of camping, the dealer was a nightmare to deal with for warranty repairs (no surprise, it was expected from our interviews). The handful of issues were minor so I just fixed or adjusted it myself.

    You might want to narrow it down a bit. Motor homes? Truck campers? Travel trailers? Pop up trailers?
  • Fleetwood, They are still going strong as a company. All that was optional at one time seem standard in their class A's now. Great customer service and tech support is excellent.
