First hand Palomino/Forest River TC opinions?

I wanted to follow up on this, I went and drove the 160 miles to look at this camper over the weekend. I spent considerable time looking over the camper and it's construction. I would say overall it's decent. The roof was a big concern for me, it actually looked very well put together.

There were some things I would have to address due to my OCD if I bought this particular camper. The stove top was blatantly crooked in the counter top. I brought a tape measure with me, it was 3/4 of an inch crooked to be exact.

One side of the face of the furnace which is supposed to sit flush on the cabinet front was sticking out a 1/4" exposing the gray furnace side.

Looking from the inside out, the door had something funny going on on the bottom left. It's hard to explain, but the wood under the finished surface was showing and the bottom of the door seemed crooked.

Finally, the door to access the toilet cassette was really off. Off to the point the access door required force to close completely.

This minor stuff would drive me crazy, but I imagine it wouldn't be to difficult or time consuming to straighten out. Which makes me wonder why it doesn't get straightened out before it leaves the factory?

For other reasons I decided it's not my first choice. One being I don't think the cassette toilet is for me. Another being I just like the Adventurer 80GS better. The dealer showing me a sale price that was actually higher then the MSRP didn't help either. :?
