I have a Cruiser RV Shadow Cruiser which is one step below the FunFinder. By below I mean in the way it is appointed, with suspension and hitch upgrades as examples, not in the way it is built.
Poor workmanship and piece-work is the major issue. Workers being pushed to get pieces out an not trained to do the job properly. All mfg are prone to this. Here is what I found on my camper!
In the spring after I bought my camper I noticed that there was water being held under the camper (the cover fabric covering the insulation held the water in). So I looked for a way the water was getting in there. I noticed the angle trim was not a feared to the side, so I removed it. It was being held in place by a few screws driven up through the bottom of the angle. What amazed me was there was a bead of caulk in the inside corner of the angle, still round! The caulk did not touch anything! I replaced caulk with butyl tape o. The camper sealing the corner, and then mounted th angle trim. To finish I added a bead of caulk betw8the siding an the angle. Guess what... no more water.
