The RV industry in general (and certain brands are different, of course) has had a mediocre reputation for quality, especially since 2008 when all RV makers had to go into survival mode and make stuff to sell... where they didn't know if the company would be in business, so warranties were relegated to the lowest priority.
Unlike the auto industry where pretty much every new car on the roads will be decent, the RV industry requires buyers to do their homework, realize that no dealer will honor a warranty unless the rig was bought at that place, and look for features that mean a far longer lifespan (a rig with a fiberglass roof can last a long time, far longer than a RV with a rubber roof.)
For people looking out for our (as in RV-er) interests, I'd say this forum is one of the best resources out there. At least a search can give you horror stories on specific brands.
