All the RVs that are mass produced at these price points use similar appliances, systems and furniture and have similar build methods. The wildcard is the quality and attitude of the crew that builds your particular RV on a given day. Get away from piece work and they may do better. Food for thought.

Just saw this - you said it better than I did.


I have no idea what's going to be the outcome of the FAA investigation into the 737 line, but as of now, it seems to be a similar issue. Quantity over quality.
