Were older travel trailers built better?
I have a few main companies that I like today, almost none are based in Indiana because of quality issues. People are just having their trailers fall apart in 1-2 years.... Warranties are 3 months to...

My 2004 Wildcat was built just as good but not as sloppy as my 2018 Arctic Fox.
Asking because I'm considering one of their models.
It was lots of workmanship issues. Cabinets poorly assembled with trim work popped loose. About 80% of all the screws installed for hinges and latches were stripped out. Awning's misalligned. Tons of little stuff.
The fiberglass caps have a terrible finish. It went back to the facotry for a new roof (another story but it was replaced in ONE DAY) and they "fixed" the caps - they still look terrible. They told me most of the units that leave the facotry have blemishes in the caps. Obviously a process issue that they just dont care to fix.
Then there's the warranty guy. No bigger liar was ever born.
Had it not been for my dealer, they would have blown me off.
Personally, I wont buy another NW product, mostly because of my dealings with the factory.
