Very Disappointed with New Keystone Alpine

All mfg's have a percentage junk--- The RV industry needs a competitor like Japan that actually forced the American automobile industry build better products. Meanwhile a very detail oriented PDI is the only real defense one has to obtain an RV they will be happy with. NEVER finalize a sale until a very detail oriented PDI is completed and any problem found is corrected to expectation. Otherwise simply walk away and find another dealer. If you are unable to do a proper PDI higher some one who knows what to check for.

The industry as a whole could start by:

1) Adopting an industry-wide building code.
2) Geting off the pay-per-piece wages that allow the crews to build the day's quota as fast as they can, then leave. Meaning, if they can build the X units for the day's quota in 5 hours, they go home. If the mfr wants X units, make the crews build them in a normal 8 hour shift.
3) Adopting a more auto-industry-like dealer network that forces dealers to take a FIFO approach to service, no matter where a unit was bought.
4) Ramping up their parts departments so dealers don't wait weeks and months for parts and have them often not be the =right= parts when they finally get there.
5) Pay the dealers for warranty service in a timely manner and a =fair= price.

Notice, I never said anything about LCI products, as that's a completely different issue.
