Thanks everyone, I do understand that I can go out there and fix most of these issues myself. Most likely I will do just that. Although the loose skirting will take a little planning to reinforce it properly. The reason i was upset is because of the lack of quality control, from what I've read and what everyone has said most new Rv's, TT's, etc, come off the line and need immediate repairs. IMHO these manufactures need to step up their game a bit.
Why should they? They're making money off what they sell. I saw a video where a CEO type said that 30% of RV buyers are new. They know they have us by the ba!!s, so I really doubt much will ever change.
I really doubt if any of the brands will step up and build what could be called a perfect RV. It would cost too much money. Not enough buyers either. Would you have paid #2-4,000 more knowing it was built better. You can tighten a lot of screws and reinforce fender skirts for $2-4,000. There banking on knowing that most buyers look at these as toys or recreation, and not as an absolute necessity like a house or a car. It's the same with most everything we buy. There's a price cap on what people will pay and as the cost for those goods increases they need to cut back somewhere to stay competitive. Just like that bag of chips you buy. It's not any bigger cause you pay more, it just has less in it.
