RV issues
When you mention screws in the cabinets coming loose, that is probably the most common issue we've had also. As bsmith said, they use a light softwood material covered with a vinyl veneer for the frames, and this coupled with the tight cabinets latches for holding the doors tightly during travel movement, make you pull a little harder on the doors, loosening the hinge - and latch screws. Mostly the doors are a hardwood, such as Oak, so the screws don't usually loosen on those, it does happen. Can't really change it, you just fix them.
Otherwise, I would say many of the components, such as facets, switches, etc. are 'fair' quality. So, 5-6 years is not surprising. When you consider you might put a $200-400 Grohe or Moen sink facet in your house,you expect it to last 20+ years. When you put a $18.95 sink facet in your RV or home, well, I hope your expectation is not quite as long.
BTW, when you replace that facet, you can go to your local big-box lumber yard and get new facets. They don't need to be from a RV dealer. I've seen some say that they are the proper flow requirements for the demand water systems, but my experience is they seem to work better.
