Some things from China are okay. Others are not. People upgrade their water pumps, TV antenna, sound system. I believe that the most important thing on these poorly made 5th wheels are the tires, bearings, brakes and suspensions. Followed by water piping, electrical connections and insulating R-value. Some of it I can fix. Some not.

And I did not even mention toilets. Some folks replace them simply as a prevention of a common Thetford failure using a Dometec

Some here on these forums have had bearing failures even when maintained. For me it is just low cost insurance.
