For all the complaining about rv construction quality. (In general, not you or this in particular) I've been fairly impressed in my short time owning 2 campers both in the 10+year old range at the build quality.
Granted we don't use them that much, but buying older used and all the stories here I frankly would have expected worse.
With 2 kids that are prone to slamming or breaking things, long trips, lots of bad roads, dirt roads, all weather (winter too) in the 5 years and 2 old AF campers, I can count the real problems on one hand. Little things like adding a screw here or there or some sealant, fixing a faucet etc don't count IMO.
Both have had little leaks in the nose that were perplexing til I figure out it was the front clearance lights taking in the water. The 03 has a sticky front Jack that doesn't engage all the way sometimes when lowering the camper. Works if you go manual, lower it a tad then can use electric. Um that's it.
