Heres a experience I had last year. My wife and I wanted to start camping again. We bought a Jayco hardside pop-up (looks like an Aliner) at the Knoxville show last Feb. The camper was put together nicely and the fit and finish was good.
One big problem.....the camper had a heat pump / AC unit in it made by Dometic. That's where the problem started. The unit condensated bad and the water accumulated in the rear storage box where the unit was located.

Now back to the Jayco. IMO the camper was fine,the heat pump / AC unit was a poorly engineered design.
So how do judge quality? Does a bad piece of equipment make the quality of the camper bad?
