slideout roof on fiver

Had the same problem on 2 rvs which showed up on 1st year of owning both.(DRV Elite Suite and KZ Escalade)

There is very little pride in workmanship anymore. I see this every day where I work. This country is slowly imploding.

We had a 2004 Sprinter TT. It got a hole in the edge of the main roof a few months after we had it. You could see the plywood edges protruding through the rubber roof. I took back to dealer and they said warranty repair. After several weeks I received a call from dealer saying Keystone denied the claim. I fought with keystone for several months and claim was still denied.

Now all makes sense.

I would put a piece of Eternabond on it, go camping and never give it another thought.

I could be wrong, but I think that, on average, the people building these things probably have a bit of pride in their work, but with the entire company pushing a "more, more, build, build" mentality by paying on a piecemeal basis instead of an hourly basis, that's were 95% of the problems come from. I've been saying for several years now, that if the mfrs would slow down the lines by only 1-2 units a day, their quality of build would go =way= up and warranty claims =way= down. I just don't see how squeezing out those extra couple units a day are cost-effective...UNLESS, the profit margins are insanely higher than anyone imagines, and those last couple that are hastily assembled could be virtually rebuilt and not affect the bottom line much.
