Probably didn't get enough information from original post to assume that DRV has now fired all of their quality control workers, or that since coming under the umbrella of Thor everything sent south.
One unit out of thousands out there was observed with some water inside and a saggy ceiling. Did something punch a hole in the roof? Did a transport company run it under a big tree branch?
A manufacturer (Montana) produces a fiver for around $30,000, then sells it to a dealer for around $40,000. The dealers have this imaginary MSRP on it of $85,000. But of course that price is always crossed out and the "sale" price is listed of around $65,000. Us savy experienced RV folks get the dealer down to $58,000 and think we stole something worth $85,000.
In our minds we expect a perfect product because an $85,000 RV should be able to bounce and crash over all these defective roads in our country, withstand all the weather extremes, and never leak, peal, or age. We may have only paid $58,000 for it but the darn thing was priced at $85,000!
IMHO most new fivers hold up pretty good for $30,000 worth of product and labor.
