So, when ucfireman's thread turned from light enough 5th wheels to mention of Scamps, and Escapes and I became familiar with Casitas and Bigfoots, I was very taken with their construction, but also their price. I owned an Allegro diesel motorhome almost 20 years ago, as ugly a brown box as could motate down the road but it was chosen for its aluminum skin after having learned (and often seen) the irreversible ravages of fiberglass delamination and learned to spot it beneath windows even in its most incipient stages. But, across the board water seems a biggy. If you know something about a notoriously poorly wired RV, that could easily jump ahead on my list. My main concern, and correct me if it shouldn't be, is water infiltration. I'm as happy with decent laminate counter-tops as Corian. But I think you bang for the buck being weighed. My need for the occasional specialty tool, whose necessity may be pressing but whose use will be infrequent, keeps me from shopping Snap On or Proto. Now, any concern of mine about quality might be laughable to you as you watch me visit Harbor Freight twice a month, but I do consider myself practical, nevertheless. There are quite a few articles vociferously denouncing the general lack of craftsmanship in construction of many, while the bells, whistles, and gee gaws get a lot of attention instead. Ucfireman's thread kinda got me questioning certain matters of RV quality.
