Manufacturers - How Do You Answer This
This is one aspect of why I am leery of an aluminum framed camper, not to mention a newer, expensive camper. Of course the extremely poor quality craftsmanship could be duplicated in a wood-framed cam...

I have gone through the new experience twice now.
I found myself fixing the little things because it was easier to do myself. By the time you add in fuel and the aggravation of driving it in during work hours, it didn't make sense to have the dealer do it.
Heck, I even had the dealer order a repair part, picked it up and installed it myself.
As long as we do this, the manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank. If purchasers insist on quality before we pick it up and during the warranty period, maybe these companies will straighten up.
Make them pay for their shoddy workmanship after the sale.
I have a list of a bunch of little things that are going to be added to a couple of big-ticket items that I will be looking at my dealer to fix under warranty. We are lucky to be headed that way in a couple of weeks for a non-RV trip and will drop it off for a week. We'll see what gets done. We will probably use that trip to only get authorization for the repairs, and a return trip will be needed.
Oh well.
Like was already said, these companies don't have the network that the big auto makers have.
