I don't have the vast experience of these major camper manufacturers so I tended to go overboard welding. I first tack welded then ran a full fillet on all four sides of a joint.

It looks like from your photo all I really needed to do is tack weld one side and call it done.

Yeah but it has fancy graphics on the side that say Arctic Fox. That means that a small tack instead of a real weld is all that is needed.

These kinds of things disgust me , but what disgusts me even more than the lack of quality is the apologists that will say ahh you just got a bad one etc.

This company talks a good game but delivers garbage. 30 plus thousand for a rolling garbage bin?

Where are the standards ? Where is the quality control ? The owners of this company should be ashamed of themselves. As a 25 year millwright I would not be able to sleep at night if this was my work.

It would only take an additional second spent at each joint to place a proper weld on aluminum with the mig gun that was used to weld that.

Holy Crap!


Lets put aside the incredibly poor craftsmanship.

Where the hell is the quality control ? ? ? ?



They should either be out of business or everyone in management should be fired.

Aluminum frame my rear end. Absolute joke. Ill take the wood frame in my S&S thanks.

And the thing that bothered me most was the generator main line.

I guess they should have used a "florescent" color on the wire and not just orange.

Looks to me like that top screw has caught the romex, I'd check that a little closer.

This level of craftsmanship is just down right awful, just no excuse for it whatsoever!

WOW!! :E

If that is simple maintenance hate to see what you call rebuilding..........och!

Brutal. Nice touch on the orange wire
