My apologies sir. We just got home from a week long trip to the panhandle to see family. The roominess of our junk wagon served us well!

I think you are quoting another person. I never said anything about a Jayco taking seven hours to build. That number came from another RV member.

Based on your experience, which brand of travel trailer is among the most trouble free. I'm not looking for luxury, I don't want fancy counter tops nor amazingly beautiful cabinets...what I'm searching for, more than anything, is for all things to function properly for many years.
I've heard that many travel trailers are frequently needing something repaired or parts replaced. So I'm prepared to deal with some level of this...
But is there a brand that has a reputation for being one of (or the most) trouble free.
I'm just looking for brand names of 17 to 30 foot travel trailers, based on one that you've owned.
Thank you!

Since this thread has sort of gone off the rails as they often do around here....let me toss in a thought.
I am watching the Jayco video on how they built their frame. Miss Cutesy marketing gal there is bragging about how Jayco places their outriggers four to six feet apart. I'm like....whoa....hit the pause button....grab the tape measure !
....so I just went out and layed under my Funfinder by Cruiser RV....with one of the much maligned Lippert frames. Outriggers are spaced some as close as 16", none any farther apart than 24".
I'll leave it to the reader here to draw their own conclusions.

The information about 400 hours of labor that goes into each Airstream comes from the factory, not some You Tube video. Believe what you want.

I strongly stand by my first response.
Again, had you read all the six pages you would have understood more about what this thread really is about.
As to all RV manufactures follow the same practices, that is simply not true. Since Airstream has been mentioned many times in this thread they spend nearly 400 hours building one trailer coach, while a few years ago there was a video of a Jayco trailer being built in less than an hour. The care, quality, attention to detail, even the materials in construction are often different. Sometimes vastly! But, we can agree to disagree, that is fine.
