RV Factory has bought Augusta RV

That's great for you but your experience is anecdotal. Lippert makes most of the body components. Frames, windows, doors, slide systems, level up system, lighting, furniture, electronics, etc. They are all cheap and failures are routine. AC and fridge failures are rampant and reported all the time on the forums along with all the other appliances and electronics. The industry is doing record numbers right now and failures are everywhere. Can someone get a good one? Sure. Two in a row? Sure. Is it the norm? Nope. The odds are you will need warranty service.

I have owned 8 RV's and never had a frig or A/C failure, if I do these are not rv brand specific and can be replaced anywhere. If that close dealer gives you the warm fuzzy feeling by all means purchase from them. My seasonal RV is 900 miles from the dealer and will probably never see that dealer again. I do have a issue with a rotten floor in a slide but I can have a RV tech put a new one in. I agree that Lippert and quality don't belong in the same sentence. Unless it's a major structural issue I or a RV tech will fix it without involving the selling dealer. My rv tech can do warranty work as well on site without taking the RV in.
