Id never buy anything made of flimsy materials..rather pay more for quality Rvs such as Airstream and or those made completely from fiberglas..

They keep building like this and we keep buying them...

Perhaps you should read my OP. There are cupboards below the closet. Sheesh Old Biscuit

That being said, you signed off on the RV now (and hare basically limited or no recourse really, unless you contact the mfg.

A typical PDI

I suggest everyone buying a new rv or used RV keep this in mind before plunking down some serious cash for a "home on wheels"

Not true, we have a 45 day guarantee on this rig. There are a couple other issues that the dealer will fix no questions asked. This I prefer to do myself. But thanks for your input anyway.

The rub is that people want big trailers with a couple of slides that can be "half ton towable."

So they make them basically out of veneer and cardboard. Also, marginal framing.

These trailers work good enough for the occasional weekend camper and maybe a longer trip during summer vacation.

Plus your Rockwood is an ultralight TT, so they have to find weight savings somewhere.

Had the exact same thing happen to our TT. I reinforced several of the bottom shelves. A shelf in the wardrobe closet fell apart on one trip.

If that's all the typical crappy factory work that they do and have discovered so far, count yourself lucky. Maybe the PO has already dealt with the worst of it? Poor workmanship is the norm in the TT industry. I could write pages of things I've found and done to repair or upgrade in our TT. Am just on a long 3 week trip through 7 western states and have had to replace the battery, the converter and now the toilet valve. The TV stopped working a few days ago and it seems like the SensarPro signal finder has failed. Even when you think nothing more can happen, it does. It's not just poor factory workmanship, it's also poor quality components they use to build them. Ask me about frames some day... And as for dealers, forget about them ever fixing stuff properly - another thing you can ask me some day too. Pffft...
