Rv screaming "Built on a Monday"

Apparently it's a great year for repairs. The list is getting longer this year.
So far...
Power converter
Lp Valve on water heater
Lp valve on tank
Whip hose off lp tank
Tires
Water pump
Some hoses off the pump to make it quieter
Just got back from a road trip to find the galley dump valve handle gone
And most all the little black corner pieces on each ladder rung are broke. Had a few of those replaced when I bought the unit last year.
It's only September, I hope I'm done replacing things.

Just think how happy you'll be with your rig after you get everything fixed.

Sound mostly like Chinese supplier issues not assembly ones. Now you know why a lot of companies are moving production back into the US

Yes most things are suppliers parts. I'm concerned that bigger things are going to begin to break!
Structurally the camper has a couple things that I would like to change but I can live with them. The living room slide was attached to the slide mechanism too far back so the seals on the rear wall rub really hard sliding out/in. Floor squeaks by the fridge. Things like that.

By then we will want a new one. Almost traded a few weeks ago when it was in getting some work done.
