Quality is one issue another is parts. Dealers I have visited don't want to sell you parts just the RV or if they do have a part it is included in a much larger part. For example the hinges on toilet seats break often do you think I could get hinges? All the dealers wanted to sell me a new toilet and install it and then it would have to be ordered like to the tune of $400-600bucks for a two dollar part. They have you because sitting on toilet seat rims is not my idea of fun and it could get nasty ugly. I got a toilet seat at a big box hardware for $16.00 matched perfectly. Then I wanted a new brake control my old dealer said he does not install those anymore cause there is no money in it. Go to a truck repair outfit like what who is that so I looked around for a exclusive truck repair center and got it done but my RV dealer no longer sells them or installs them. Then my awning got damaged in a storm. The dealer ordered six before we got one that was not damaged in shipment and the fabric was so cheap I almost sent it back. First truck was highjacked, second truck went to the wrong place and dropped it off, third truck tossed it out the back and ran over it before leaving, fourth truck delivered one with holes in it mice or something ate it, fifth got delivered to the same wrong place again, etc. I kept the sixth one but it is so cheap for a $1,000 it flops around like a flag. Strainer in the sink shredded being made so cheap, it didn't bother me to much as I thought for sure they would be available at my local RV dealer priced like gold but they would have one. Nope same story, they could sell me and install a new sink and toss in the strainers but it would have to be ordered. Mean while the wife is in disbelief and not really a happy camper. Be prepared for this experience! I called the manufacturer of the RV and told them the story, they gave me the name of a dealer who carried parts and would sell them to me but this service is getting extremely rare.
