Terrible factory splices in brake wiring
OMG, I never would have thought splices in the brake wiring could be this bad. Am just replacing the backing plate assemblies on one axle. The first couple of splices I looked at were pretty bad...

That’s exactly it. I’m an auto tech and we work by booked hour. I take my time to make sure it’s done right. Take a extra minute and it doesn’t come back where you need to spend 30 minutes. And you have a happy customer.
Anyway, I've many people say they make junk RVs because buyers continue to buy junk. That is one thing I have to disagree with, especially with all the first time buyers out there. When you see a shiny new RV on the dealer's lot or at a show, you have no idea you can be buying a house of horrors. Some issues can't be spotted even if you looked for them. Heck, we even had an entire TT replaced under warranty due to a significant issue.
I would add that having an RVIA sticker on the outside means little or nothing. They can have all the standards and policies they want but the manufacturers get away with all sorts of substandard work. And there's no government authority that you can complain to and get action taken.
RVs are a whole world unto their own and I don't see anything changing. Sad!
