We know this won't help our situation...just a way of venting.

The guy had a sense of humor....Poor Winds!
If you watched his "series" on his "2007 Monaco Septer"...you can actually hear him lose his mind....after losing his coach! I feel for this person!

MOVIE REVIEW- Well, there 4 minutes and 53 seconds of my life I'll never get back! It was painful, like watching paint dry, while smacking your head with a rubber hammer!

Agree! I didn't make it halfway before I stopped watching. Too corny.

The point is that what you are directing attention to here absolutely requires it. Too many manufacturers have gone way beyond when it comes to the sealing of seams. They do a crappy job slapping the RV together and then expect us to find the problems and fix them.
These days one has to be a carpenter, electrician and mechanic - which is simply dumb and is going to come back to bite the manufacturers, if they are still alive after this economic mess.
As to the Scepter problem described in a neighbouring video, one comment above seems to imply that video was part of your presentation. If that is what they thought, they missed the boat.
In the Scepter video the owner provides a lot of good evidence for buyers to avoid Monaco products. In the fall of 2005 we bought an HR Ambassador after having a terrible experience with lack of quality in a 2004 Winnebago Journey. On the way to Florida we dropped in to Monaco's Wildwood repair facility for a consultation on a number of the problems. We were there on Nov 1/05 and the next available appointment was March 06. One of the things we observed was the we were in a minority - we had a less expensive MH (list was only $250K+ in Canada) and most of the hardware lined up to be fixed was much more expensive than ours (Imperials, Scepters, Navigators, Dynastys, Signatures, etc). We talked to some of the owners and concluded the facility should be renamed Camp Misery.
The HR had fewer serious problems than the Journey but neither were really that great on quality. Both spent months at the dealer being fixed slowly. When I suggested to the Monaco service rep that the warranty should be extended (how else can one identify problems other than by using it - and if you can't use it because it is at the dealer....) he virtually laughed in my face.
I wonder if Thor will take up and do something about the design and build quality of the Four Winds products?
BTW, on one of the occasions the Journey was in for warranty work I requested they check the caulking on the roof (which I'd have to pay for). When we picked up the MH we were told that since they had found the sealant coming off around the skylight over the shower they were able to do do the recaulking under the warranty and we were not charged for the inspection.

If that guy is a member of rv.net I wish he'd post what went through his mind before, during, and after that event.

We must have gotten extremely lucky with our purchase, but our new 2009 Fleetwood Pulse 24A came with nearly zero defects from the factory (except for a loose connection in the shower and some mixed-up cables in the video selector box, which were both quickly fixed by the dealer.)
