An Approach to RV Defects
Many problems owners encounter with their new rigs are a result of sloppy work during assembly. Quality and piece work might work well in a monastery. But I doubt it, human nature being what it is. ...

Vulcaneer,
Good post, but it's a bit too long to include here in my reply.
Look, I'm not defending Newmar, heck there's nothing to defend. It's THEIR business, and they chose to locate it there for many reason that seemed good to them. AND, they are succesful,....even weathered the last economic slow-down quite well. I have first hand knowledge of how they were running their production line back in 2003. I could tell you much about the design deficiencies and areas of substandard construction in MY Dutch Star. I studied their operation, and talked to some of the workers. I felt that I had learned why they do it their way, and concluded that it was THEIR business to manage THEIR way. Obviously, they maintain a sufficiently high place in the market share scale to stay in business. I'm sure that there's plenty of people like myself who are NOT going to gamble years of their lives just to see if maybe somebody will manufacture RV's of higher quality, and sell them for the same price as Newmar. Y'all do it, NOT me. I've enjoyed mine, and will keep on doing it. It's the mostest for the leastest,...not the best, but a keeper nontheless.
And, I do NOT buy foreign-badged vehicles.
