When we purchased our Hummingbird we went through it tongue jack to bumper, inside and out. It's our 5th camper (downsized from 37' 5er) so we knew what to look for. It was very clean upon first inspection, no sawdust in the cabinets, etc. I later found out every one of their campers goes thru an extensive cleaning before they are shown to potential customers. There were a few minor things like the rear window tilt wand didn't work properly and a couple other very small things. Gave salesperson our list of 'fix it' items and said don't call us until it's all done. He called the next day and said everything was done. Went to do PDI and everything went according to plan.
We have looked at alot of new campers over the years, on lots & at shows, and can't believe the condition some dealers show campers. IMHO it says alot about the dealer. Weather you look at a MH or popup customers should expect better.
Just my 2 cents.

Good comments - our 2018 H'bird 17RK is still 'spitting' sawdust after every road trip..no idea where it is coming from but we think the slide/fridge cabinet.
At any rate, for $20k I expect a decent build and average finish work. Only issue we fixed was the window cover over the bed came down the first week we owned it.
Our screen door has a huge gap where is closes..no idea how to fix that.
