There are members here that have posted pictures of the poor assembly practices of the RV factories. Some of it is unbelievably bad. If I had a new trailer and the water tank fell off on the first trip or a plumbing/electrical malfunction in the first miles, I'd need a prescription for tranquilizers and maybe some R&R in a facility, lol.
FWIW, and as it is, I spent six months restoring my old Starcraft. I don't know any that would/could endure the work schedule. The bad news is that if I have a mechanical failure, the finger is pointing backwards. The good news is that I know exactly what is happening and am able to fix it. Knock on 1/4" Luan paneling, I'm doing OK so far. But this is a moving shell on two axles, gotta' expect the possible.
