Cabinet Quality

MH's from reputable builders like Tiffin, Winnebago, Newmar generally have very good quality, solid wood, cabinetry..

My FW, on profile page, has solid maple doors and drawers, while the cabinets themselves may be MFD. My Yellowstone FW was the upper end of Gulf Steam, when I purchased it new. It had a retail price of 40K at that time (a great FW for the price,IMO). I am happy to say, most of my wood, or wood trim, does not look cheap.



Hope you are still enjoying the warmer Southern temps Rob!

Happily Holidays to you!

I agree but he’s asking in the FW forum?

Well my Cherry Cabinets cost around 130k. There are a few components wrapped around them.

We got real wood cabinets in our TT but that was awhile back.

Our Grand Design Reflection has hardwood cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Narrow frame members are wrapped wood. Panels are stained cabinet plywood. I think we paid about 70% of MSRP at $43K in 2015.

My Montana Legacy edition has all Cherry wood cabinets and frames

Actually, a lot of RV's have "real wood" cabinets. The door and drawer fronts are solid wood as are the framework. That real wood framework is however a cheaper grade of wood and is wrapped. Even our low end Wildcat was this way and could be considered "real wood". Below is a pic of our Arctic Fox.
You'll find very few trailers that use MDF/pressboard for the frames and they all use plywood for the body of the cabinet because it's much better than solid wood.
The back side of our cherry cabinets:



The biggest problem is people don't really know what quality is and aren't willing to pay for it anyway.

Just another thought, especially concerning RVs, is that in extreme conditions, temperatures/humidity, many real woods are more likely to warp or crack, than some manufactured wood types.

"The biggest problem is people don't really know what quality is and aren't willing to pay for it anyway."

SO TRUE!!!

I have seen so many homes or RV's that people think are Quality. NOT

Simply pop out a shelf and look at the back side or edges, plywood or particleboard???
