You choose a post from August 2014, almost two years ago to comment on and then take it 'out of context" My comment was directed at a situation identified by a member whose trailer was (at the time of the comment) 6 years old. He bought it in 2009 and was complaining about "warranty work" that was preventing him from using his trailer for "more than a year"...
But, to address your comment, I urge you to go to any supermarket and watch shoppers in the meat department. EVERY ONE of them will pick up packages of meat, look at them, turn them over (even prepackaged bacon) to check. Then they "choose the best looking one".... If they do that with a $2 pound purchase of bacon, wouldn't you expect "at least" the same scrutiny in a $40K purchase???
So, yes, I'm saying the buyer needs to look at their trailer, inspect it and be aware of what they are dragging off the lot.
Anyone who "believes" that a trailer manufacturer is going to "use the best and most expensive" components in a "bottom dollar" or "mid level" RV is in for a "rude awakening" after they get it home and then start comparing. By then, it's too late. The time to compare, is like the supermarket shopper, BEFORE you put it in your driveway.
Expectations differ among buyers, some are "realistic" in understanding that trailers come with cheap furniture, "FHA" vinyl and "cheap carpet". Other buyers, if they expect more than the manufacturer provides, will likely be disappointed.
Keystone, just like every other "production line RV manufacturer" uses essentially the same components to assemble their products. If you're not satisfied with the quality of the components, after the sale is a bad time to find that out.......
