I have read some things relative to theories surrounding the industry wide issue with shoddy construction. Approximately 85% of all the RV manufacturing is centered in one geographical location in the mid-west. Overall, the work force is relatively transitory as a result. Workers have no trouble moving around from one manufacturer to the other. There is little impetus for them to take pride in their work nor have any real brand loyalty. While this reflects more on the lack of pride in workmanship, the burden of quality control and QC checks lies on the manufacturers who deem it easier to just ship stuff with no QC and just let their dealer networks fix all the issues. Unfortunately, every dealer we've dealt with claims to have such a back-log of warranty work that it routinely takes 3 to 6 months to get most repairs done. This is not an ideal situation especially for families who have limited time frames with scheduled vacations to travel.
