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 had a controller fail at year 6. I also had a stereo system that was a piece of garbage, but I'm pretty sure it was built as designed by Forest River.
I haven't looked at every label but most of the components came from off shore. I think they are holding up fairly well considering the box bounces down the highway.
The installation of those components is another story. The real problems I have had have been builder-induced by a lack of quality control and attention to detail.
I didn't get any better quality from the Forest River dealer who did warranty work. I'm hoping for better from Tiffin's, but we shall see.
I understand it is tough to get quality people. Heck, the RV has every system of a house and then some. Anybody skilled enough to know the ins and outs of an RV probably won't work for peanuts and that is probably what the dealers and manufacturers want to pay.
