Quality cost two things, payload and price.
Manufacturers have their process of building these thing down to a point there can be little to no cost savings found in the production. Only way to cut cost is to cut material quality and use less. The RV industry has grown close to 300% in the last 5 years primarily becuase of the cheaper made RVs. They are not for everyone but have their own/created a new market which can consumes people who think they want quality. People have a hard time understanding the difference in the exact same floor plan trailer by two lines, one weighs 5500pds and retails for 18900 while the other weighs 7300pds and retails for 28500. They forget to pay attention to the details and become alarmed with all these quality issues they experiance.
