Nothing has really changed in the manufacturing of mass produced RVs, whether 15 years ago or now, they are simply pushed down the assembly line as fast as they can get them out the door. When purchasing a new RV it is paramount that the dealer has a good track record for service after the sale, regardless of the price range or brand every RV has defects. Most issues are minor, some remain hidden under warranty only to fail somewhere down the road. Really pays to be handy with tools, that way you can fix it the right way.
