Sorry for reactivating an old post, but I have a point to raise.
I can't help pointing out that I read this article several years ago, and it was a major factor in why I decided to buy a used Lance instead of an Airstream, and it remains out there as a black eye on this industry. It took a few automotive reviewers no time at all to find the poor quality parts, fit, finish and materials. All this on a unit that the manufacturer/dealer knew would be reviewed by a major publication. What a missed opportunity. A missing rivet that can be plainly seen above the bed! What the heck is that about? It makes me question what an owner will find when they open a utility area.
A flawless unit could have helped Airstream's sales and reputation in the long term, once the Covid craze wore off. Instead four years later this article continues to give one of the stars of the RV industry a black eye. And it has sat out there for 3+ years......
Doesn't anyone make a quality product at any price?
