Hopefully they did a better job on the steel.

When the front of my 3402RL was opened up to inspect and repair for frame flex I can tell you there were welds visible that even I would be ashamed of and I have never had any formal training in welding. That however is a Lippert issue not Keystone. Many have seen the poor welds associated with the mounting of the spring hangers and so on related to the undercarriage, that is done I would assume in the Keystone plant as they are using a Lippert frame and Dexter axles.
Good workmanship and mass production do not exist in the same sentence and that is a problem throughout the RV industry with the exception of some smaller manufacturers of course. When you have the units themselves being pushed through an assembly line as fast as possible and the same condition in the plants producing the fridges, stoves, furnaces and so on the result is what the consumer has to put up with.
Do not bet "all" welds on your unit are done properly, the just are not.
