RV Problems
I see a lot of posts on this site and others about problems that folks have with their "new" campers (of all classes). I wonder how much of this is unrealistic expectations on the part of new RV ...

Here is a guy that would love to have dinner with these millionaires. I'm sure their hearts bleed for him.
CW has our RV for 13 months and counting
CW is a Dealer not a manufacturer. I was referring to the CEO's of the Manufacturers not the seller. Where the truth lies between 3 or more parties in a dispute is nearly impossible to tell from the standpoint of a contributor to this forum.
Lots of stupid stuff happened to my brand new TT past the warranty. Pi$$ poor materials and manufacturing processes. I had an extensive list - not nitpicking either. I'm over it, but maybe I'm just being unrealistic in my expectations for 30K worth of something in my driveway... :H Oh and guess what is happening now? The aluminum siding is corroding due to something behind it - most likely the glue. There's holes forming - I have pictures. Guess what? Thor doesn't care! This according to my FIL - who is an accomplished pilot and airplane mechanic - he does his own tear downs as well.
So many people with brand new units sitting in service for months. Put me on the guest list - I'll do the surf and turf...
Well I am sorry for your problems and I do sympathize with your plight. It sounds as if you have had more than your share for sure. I am equally sure that many people are in your shoes. And your complaints are valid for sure.
But when a new Impala costs $40,000 getting a 34ft completely equipped small rolling apartment for $30k is a feat for sure. And I can also see the plight of the Company CEO's who are trying to make it all work...the low price, some semblance of quality, keeping up with demand, workforce issues, regulations and a marketplace that continually demands bigger, bigger and better, always lighter and for LESS money and still try to make a profit in one of the most volatile industries in America. All I try to do is show a bit of the other side we like to bash so much. Everybody who has a dog in this fight has legitimate problems caused by the reality of the market.
