I could be totally wrong about this, but what I think one sees with the wrath of issues on new build montanas can be traced to the economy downturn which lead to a lot of experienced workers going away and new workers being hired when the upturn happened. I would be surprised if any of these workers have an rv and understand what they go through on the road. Then there is the quality control thing...extra people that only look at units in assembly and relate things that need to be fixed cost a lot of money...expecting the worker to be their own quality inspector has never worked in any assembly business or environment.
