Love them assemblers

And they brag about their Amish quality. I'm betting they don't use Amish workers in much of a percentage. Or maybe no percentage at all.

About 2 or 3 years after buying my Winnebago MH, new, that exact same piece happened to hit the drain just right and fell out into the clear section I had my macerator attached to.

It explained a lot of the problems I had been having draining my black tank.

I wonder if there is still one in the gray tank.

My low point drains are located underneath the flooring inside my lower bathroom cabinet. When I first removed that flooring to open my drains, I found a NICE pair of pliers.

I found the same thing in my black tank and managed to wiggle it out. But look on the bright side -- if one of those disks is living in your black tank, and it is sloshing around in there while you drive, it is "macerating" the contents for better drainage! ;)

You need to tour the factories, I think you will be surprised to see how many are Amish. The idea of a particular religion being more quality oriented, is just hype.

My unit is a west coast build. Most of the "Amish" out here are of the hispanic variety. ??

There is a Youtube video of an RV aswembly line where the workers are literally running with walls and throwing them together. Quality and pride in workmanship are largely lacking. Makes me afraid to buy new

It's in all things. You just have to accept that the RV is the cheapest possible thing thrown together to make a price point. You will fix things wrong, just like a house.

Every year the local homebuilders showcase their stuff and the wife and I go. Can't tell you how many 500k-2Million houses I've been to and found glaring "oops" there. From un-level cabinets to a railing that was spliced in the middle to wavy floors.

IMHO quality craftsmanship is almost extinct today in every industry.

I've toured the Lance Camper and Travel trailer factory. The employees in there don't warrant my confidence as a general contractor to pay the premium price Lance tries to charge for their travel trailers... the added value is not there... not when you look at all the run down junk cars without valid current registration parked in the employees parking lot. English isn't even a second language for 90+% of the employees on the shop floor. True story..., BTW, I notice minute details like that.

Some things just never change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My folks bought a Chevrolet Kingswood wagon station back in I think 1959. It had a terrible rattle off the hop. The culpret was finally discovered. The spare tire fit in a compartment/well that was adjacent to the third row rear facing seat. Somebody pulled the spare and discovered several hand fulls of metal screws in the spare tire well. Real pain and difficult to find but, I wonder how the vehicle made out that didn't get the screws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
