While many are built cheap, not all are. We just got back from our 1st short weekend getaway today. Took it out winter hibernation last week. All systems worked. Spent the weekend inside cause it was raining most of the time. Not one issue. Our Northwood 5er is going into it's 5th season. No leaks, everything worked just like it did when we put it away last year at the end of Sept.
With all that being said, it very easily could have an issue next time out. You just never know. I do all my own maintenance, maybe that helps. I tend to ignore rant threads. They're a dime a dozen anymore. Over 400,000 Towables sold last year. I highly doubt every single one sold had so many issue that they're all a big giant POS.
I admit freely that this is a rant thread. I wish it were not so, because it runs against the grain of my approach to living. Make the best of everything, remember what is important and always be thankful to your maker. I love that I can camp with the kids and make memories. But these RV's are Junk! :)
No, what you bought was a POS. Yes they're not perfect. But don't lump all RV's into your "Junk" category. I don't expect mine to last 15-20 years like a house. I also don't expect many things to last that long. Just because you bought a cheaper junk model you think everyone else's is junk too? Maybe you should've done better research when you bought yours.
