It is sad unfortunately when you pay over 100k and up to or over 500k for a motorhome. Yes things will come loose, rattle, squeak and possibly break. It's expected when your bouncing and hitting pot holes in the roadways. But when it leaves the factory with items that are not connected, plugged in, or just not working boils down to lack of attention to detail. After the motorhomes are built it should have a final inspection by person or persons to make sure that everything works as it should. But it is either not getting done or written off as done due to the high volumes of motorhomes being built. I also bought a brand new 600 miles on it motorhome. Thinking buying new everything should work as it should being new!! Well after a quick PDI I noticed stripped out screws here and there through out the motorhome. Being on a tight schedule I wasn't going to have my new motorhome sit at the dealership for weeks just for that. So I got it home, I figured OK I'll take out the stripped screws and replace them with new ones. As I was going through the motorhome replacing screws I noticed trim work that was coming off. OK pulled it off, re-glued and tacked back into place. As I continued going through the motorhome I found screws, pieces of wire, and sawdust left in and under cabinets. I think these companies just want to build them and push them out the door onto the lots to sell and make their money. But when you have to bring it back to the dealer for repairs and it sits there for weeks and you are making payments on your NEW motorhome it's very frustrating. Especially when it's repairs on things that were not done in the assembly process......
