Initial Quality

Leo,

Ya know, when I was sailing and surveying boats I heard the same things. Imagine a head door sticking on a Hinckley Bermuda 40. Yeah, it happens. I've been at sea with one and seen it happen. My point is, life is wayyy to short to dwell or overcompensate on issues, most of which are easily resolved.

   My thoughts as far as quality it needs to catch up to technology. I think technology has improved with the use of fiberglass sides and roof, and aluminum framing with vacuum bonded wall, floor and roof construction. Better plumbing and other things that have improved. Quality as far as putting everything together I think that needs to improve and I don't think that there are to many camper owners that would disagree.

   Fred there were few warranty problems axle was the most major but the outcome was good. There was insulation needed for refrigerator and black tank flush needed repaired and last antenna would not turn. That was very little I think nothing big that could not be fixed. Now the mods, that was a big job that took a while and did them as I had time. The biggest of the mods was to replace front dinette seats and table and kitchen counter top. In doing these mods I added storage, new sink and faucet, and relocated the battery compartment. In bathroom removed a sliding door replaced with a curtain, rebuilt a step which is also used for storage. Added vent fan above dinning table, added LED lights and other little things sealant around shower added towel hooks. Outside I added aluminum extensions to the fenders did the same on our r-pod which worked out well. And replaced exterior shower for one that is better quality and air tight one that would not allow insects to inter camper. Took care of rust on the frame replaced sewer hose storage tube for one that would fir our sewer hose. And today cleaned the sealant on the roof and covered with that sticky tape ( I forgot the name ) so now we are ready to go camping again.
