Having been the owner of several RV's over the past many years, I do agree it is an industry that does not always produce the best end product. However there are some manufacturers that are much smaller than Keystone that are producing a top of the line product.

Quality control does not necessarily mean an inspector at each assembly station all the time, it does mean that on each and every shift random sampling and inspection of the product must be done to ensure continuity and quality. This needs to take place during the assembly, not at the end when most problems have been covered up.

The greatest majority of the problems we encounter as Montana owners could be identified at the factory and should be corrected there. If they choose to ignore a problem or accept it as being within spec then we the end user take the hit.

I do not believe there is a strong case to be made that there is much in the way of quality control measures at the Keystone plant, they could certainly do better.
