One would
think the "premier" names in the RV industry would not operate like this. My FIL bought a Coachman Aurora motorhome in 2003 that cost him almost $100K. After a couple months of use some wall panels in the bathroom were coming away from the wall. The television in the bedroom fell off the wall due to a lack of reinforcement behind the paneling which the TV bracket should have been mounted to. Soon after, they began to smell sewage gasses whenever the motorhome was closed up. They eventually found after investigating that when the plumbing was installed at the manufacturer they neglected to connect the breather for the plumbing. There was no protrusion through the roof for ventilation. The open PVC pipe was just left to vent inside the wall cavity. FIL had to do the corrective maintenance himself because the dealer refused to open the wall to investigate even after being shown the lack of a vent stack through the roof.
I think the Lonestar Schoolie guy was a little young to be an apprentice in 2003 for that manufacturer. Which shows to go ya that quality in the RV industry is a perennial problem.
