Surveyor Travel trailer

I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on a surveyor trailer. I love the floorplan but the fit and finish was very poor. Could see every staple and bottom of cabinet was broken which was particle board. Is this the norm or was this camper a one off. This was a brand new unit
Thanks
Jeff

    Not going to post long winded negative experiences dealing with those clowns but if the OP wants to hear them shoot me a PM.

    Anytime a person asks a question about build quality on a current model it's followed up by many saying how great their 2007 was, or their 2000. Comparing any of them made today, a 2017 or 2018, is comparing an apple to a slab of prime rib when it comes to comparisons to older units. Even the ones built a few years back as in 2012 were built much better than today. The RV Industry has one agenda, to make as much profit as possible while times are good because they know it won't continue. It is and always has been cyclic. Customer satisfaction, quality control, and repeat business are not on the agenda.

    I walk away from that particular TT because of what you said above. If the visible stuff looks bad imagine what the things you cant see looks like.
