Unfortunately, when the "little guy" (manufacturer - pick your choice) first starts out, they usually start for a few years with a very well built RV and they take personal pride in every unit that goes out the door. They develop a good reputation so the demand for more and more goes up. This results in expansion of the company, and also results in a need to spit the units out the door faster. Still, quality "can" be maintained, even at a faster rate.
But then when RV manufacturers begin to acquire other RV manufacturers and now expansion includes another company all together, those bad habits and bad practices now become a part of the original company. And the need to manufacturer even faster now and spit out even more, because now the company has to start showing profits for their new acquisition!
So you know what? Within a short while, quality goes to He!! and they become ... just another company that ends up getting nothing but complaints about on these forums.
My suggestion? Buy the "Little Guy" right now before THIER quality goes down the toilet too!
