Passing this along to my boyfriend. He has an old friend who had ordered a $100K+ RV and basically cancelled it once he really started thinking about whether or not he really wanted to hang out in RV parks that much! Curious to know what your experiences have been when you actually get on the road. What a nightmare!
Well, I like new stuff, but it is a pitty that they cut the quality.
I am really sorry you had to go through this. Hubbs and I are not RV owners. We just have bad luck with stuff made these days, Lots of plastic parts used now. Nothing is heavy duty.
That said, I hope you get your RV up to par with the 100% support from the company.
There are a lot of RV people out there, it is all about livin' and learnin'
I love this quote: “I think in my first year of ownership, I rebuilt the entire camper (so it seems). But when I got done, I had a really good camper!”.
Just about everything these days is build shabby and flimsy. Think of one thing that is built above par? This is why we oldsters keep our old stuff hahahaha
In the RV world, the quality went to absolute rubbish in 2020 when demand went through the roof. The stories are legion of the craziest things breaking. To add to the problem, everything is designed to be light...but look nice... but that means the quality is super sketch. I feel like we are always mere minutes from catastrophe with our travel trailer.
It sure does seem like the manufacturers have a knack for putting “Adventure” into camping trips. We just have an A-liner, and have had a string of issues as well. We even locked ourselves out on one of our first trips. We were lucky there was a storage area in the front which was accessible under a bench seat when inside, and thru an 16” square opening when outside. Mrs. Bag was barely able to fit in the opening and force her way up thru the bench. Now we keep a spare key in a magnetic case on the underside of the trailer. Like you say, we laugh about it now - but it sure wasn’t funny then. In spite of all the issues, we still enjoy our trips as they allow us the chance to see parts of the country we wouldn’t see otherwise. So I guess it’s one of those good with the bad deals.
Welcome back! Sorry about all the issues!
