Yes, I too feel Winnebago sure has lost the quality along the way. My first coach was a 1995 Itasca Suncruiser no slides. Bought it used in 1997. It was a great MH, no rattles, very little money did I put into it. No major problems the entire time I Had it. Traded it for a brand new Winnebago in 2006. This coach has given us all types of trouble, Spark plug wires kept burning off, slides quit working, leak up on right hand corner, dash air needed repair, basement air just got repaired, had to repair shower leak, refrigerator had to be repaired, repaired drawer guide, Onan generator needs repaired. That's all I can think of right now. But only twice have we been on a trip that some thing didn't go wrong.
Not saying the quality is not what it use to be. But, many of the issues you mention are somewhat out of Winnebago's control. Spark plug wires, refrigerator, AC, generator. These all come from suppliers and often there is only one or two suppliers to choose from. Want a frig, Norcold or Dometic. Want a water heater, Atwood or Suburban. Want a chaiis, now the only option is Ford.
