Ok, one interesting comment I have seen is this:
Every company, no matter how good, occasionally turns out a lemon
And likewise every company no matter how bad, an occasional gold nugget.
What makes a GREAT company as opposed to a black tank filler company is the ratio of Gold to Lemon.
The Amish Built company has a very high gold/lemon ratio, but still, occasionally a bad one makes it into the field.
Whomever builds for Dometic and Norcold (I strongly suspect a single supplier but have no way to verify) the ratio is not nearly as good.
You build 1000 cooling units and you have a 1% failure rate---10 bad units
You build 1 MILLION cooling units and have the same failure rate 1%
Now you have 10,000 bad units. This product is out all over the world. You have 10,000 people upset. WHO gets more postings on the web?
Norcold cooling unis are built by Norcold in the USA
Dometic are built in Sweden, but they do have a 1 plant in the USA, but that plant may be shut down now. The majority of CU's are built in Sweden and shipped to the USA. Doug
