I font believe he is blaming Winnebago unjustly. If these companies wouldn’t use cheap parts and demand quality from their suppliers our problems would be solved. Winnebago is a big company. If they demanded that their suppliers provide higher quality parts they would have to or lose the business. There is always another company who will meet your expectations. The only problem for us is that we would have to pay more. I would gladly pay more to avoid the problems we all hear and read about on a daily basis.
I have a 2005 Nash travel trailer that I have spent untold hours modifying it to meet my needs. Once I replaced most of the junk I was happy. We shop by price and we get what we pay for.
This problem is here to stay because of most companies trying to save 3 cents wherever they can.
Do you buy a Cedar Creek fifth wheel or do you spend the extra for a New Horizons or Spacecraft custom model. No comparison.
My New Years resolution is to ignore these types of posts. I’m tired of the repetition of complaints about a product that is inferior to start with but is continually criticized by owners who shop for the best price and then expect perfection. It isn’t rational to expect anything more than continual problems from day one.
Just my thoughts. You may have a different take on this but I’ve spent more time working on my friends RV’s than some have actually used them.
