The build sheet will not give you any of that. it will show the standard equipment and any addition packages/options that you added on.

If you're bitter about your guns, I'll take them.

Not bitter about mine...

And... this thread has now veered waaaaay "off-topic".
Any further posts should be related to the OP's title, please & thank you!

I think sometimes we expect the "robotic assembly exactness" that the car manufacturers have accomplished. You can't use a robotic welder to install wooden panels or composite trim, so the processes on the two types of assembly lines are very much different.

RV's are built on an assembly line, but are constructed more like "tract houses" than automobiles. If you think about it, the blueprints for a house give the general layout, but not the specifics. In the electrical work, it's up to the electrician whether he secures the romex to the left stud or to the right stud when he makes a switch run down the wall. The objective is to get the switch in the correct vicinity, but very few "same model tract house" have exactly the same locations for switches, wiring runs, HVAC ducting/vents and even plumbing runs. They are "similar" but not "exact". RV's are more like tract housing than automobiles in that aspect.

Could uniformity improve? Yes, but will it? I doubt it, the cost would cut into profits and not improve sales, so the RV industry likely won't adapt any significant changes in assembly line uniformity. It won't improve their "bottom line" enough to pay for the changes.
That is one of the best descriptions I have read: Like a tract home. And to the next responder who said those who build homes have a degree of pride--my answer is no they don't. Custom homes, perhaps, but not tract homes. They are thrown together like our RVs, with little pride. Time is the main factor. Get 'em up and filled. Maybe we should talk about manufactured homes--same issues as RVs. Throw them together fast and furious and let the owner figure out the mess afterwards. RVs are like that--not like cars with all the govt controls.
