I'm not sure the RV industry can build a quality RV. Most of the issues range from supplier to poor execution to old school design. Lets face it there's just a lot of junky stuff in an RV. Take booth dinettes for example. Poor quality cushions to start with. Won't matter if they look like a million dollars. Most aren't worth sitting on for more than 20 mins.
Crappy stereos. Doesn't matter if they're wired in right or not, they're still behind the times for functions and most speakers are $10 cheapos.
I could go on forever but you get the point. If it's not one thing then it'll be another.
LOL.....You must have a high end luxury RV with those $10 speakers. Most run of the mill low end slum RVs come equipped with the $6 speakers.
But in reality when purchased in huge lots by the RV manufacturer from suppliers using the lowest irresponsible bidder who can source the junkiest Chinese junk your $10 speakers is a $4 speaker and my $6 speaker is a $1.35 speaker.
Even worse are the light fixtures. On our 17 Rockwood every LED cieling fixture failed one after the other over the course of the first 2 months. When one would go out it would develop so much heat the base would melt, and they actually scorched the cieling panel above. They owned up to the issue and sent me an entire case of 24 light fixtures. The replacements were not much better but they don't get near as hot and only one of the 10 installed has failed since. They probably were purchased in a 40' C container packed lot for peanuts. No brand name, specification label, or any other marking on fixture or case. 100% Chinese generic.
No high end unit here. :)
