Seriously - we're back from a two week roadtrip, and this is Season 2 for our 2016 Greyhawk.
I've had to recaulk around the countertops.
Retighten a number of fittings back by the water pump to stop the leaks.
Replace the drawer bottom (Thank you Jayco for using 4.67mm ply in a 5mm plywood world...).
And just repaired a couple of broken cabinet doors. Their cope and stick joinery isn't much to shout about. If they do glue the rails / stiles, they must use precious little of it. And then they pin the joints with 23g pins. Sometimes I see one to hold it until the glue sits, sometimes I see where they've shot four.
I get it, as I've made my fair share of cabinet doors - it's all about speed.
I'll occasionally pin the joints too -- but I only need one shot to make it. Not four.
Staples shout "speed" over quality too.
There are about 12 other things on the Fix list.
Frankly, as I enter year 3 of Motorhome life, I can't imagine owning one of these things if you're not semi-handy and willing to tackle these jobs.
That's not being critical of those who have higher expectations, just my own personal epiphany.
