Cupboard Doors

We opened the top drawer in the Kitchen and the drawer hit the edge of the counter top. I pulled all the drawers out and found the rear frame is pulling away from the top cross bar as it is stapled together. I forced some cardboard under the lower section of frame to hold it up until I can install some L brackets. Cost of the brackets $2.68 and feel these should have been done at the factory.

They buy that stuff from a vendor and they get what they asked for. Forward your post to Keystone customer service. they will never see your post here.

That's the big disappointment of RV's, the manufacturer saving money on the little things. Modular home builders tend to do the same thing, from my experience. $2.68 X 15 rigs a day = $40.20, X 5 days a week = $201.00, times 52 weeks a year = $10,452.00. Now if they can just find ten parts to do that with, and our experience in our rig says they found many more than 10 you have a good idea why it matters to them.

Drawer repair in RV's is pretty much a fact of life.

I think drawer repair and reinforcement is common no matter what RV you have......I've had to do that on all my RV's....

But we keep buying them, therefore the manufacturers never improve.
