You would think that reports like this would mean the end of Artic Fox. No one would buy from them. Unfortunately it seems that poor design and poor construction techniques are par for the course for the entire RV industry.
We need to see a foreign manufacturer enter the market with a well made product. The RV industry needs a big shake up similar to what happened to the car industry in the 60s.
In the meantime it seems all we can do is to frequently check every seam and seal on our RVs. I have caulk on top of caulk. I have even pulled out many of the screws, checked for rust and replaced them with a stainless steel screw with the threads coated with sealant.
