ORV certainly doesn't build a perfect trailer. None do. Due to MFG build processes there's no way they can. Too much human factor involved. I worked in commercial construction for 30 years before retiring. I did framing, drywall, acoustic ceilings, etc. Not really all that much different than the RV industry. At the end of the job there was always a punch list of things to fix. Sometimes it was only a page or two, sometimes it was many pages. Same as a PDI for an RV. When you have humans involved in every aspect of the construction process, a process thats not under inspection, you increase the risk of poor quality.
I've had some issues with my 2019 ORV 25RDS that certainly bring it down to the level of quality found elsewhere.
I've done a lot of modding and that required removing some access panels and prodding around. What I found was the same as every other MFG. Sloppy cheap construction techniques.
Several of my issues were just flat worker screw ups.
Raised staple under the flooring. I had to slice the flooring then pound down the staple.
The 12V/USB port at the entertainmet center completely pulled out of the thin luan when I tried to remove a 12V plug. The workers drilled the holes so big that the nut on the back of the plug we never part of the connection. All 4 of the faces screws just ripped out. I fixed it by adding some 1/2" plywood backing. Rock solid.
Missed caulking at the top of the front cover and roof edge.
One of the drawer guides under the dinette fell apart during PDI. They seemed to fix it during PDI, however after using it a few more times it broke. I spent 45 mins reinstalling the guides. Has worked great since.
Neither screen door latches worked right in conjunction with the entry doors. After multiple attempts I got the rear door working right. I simply removed the latch from the front door so the screen and door are never connected.
The 12V plug on the bedroom ceiling has pulled out partially. Need to add some backing and re-screw.
The light switch in the slide ceiling was installed crooked. Fixed it.
The roof material is puckered along both sides the full length.
Both roof edges are crooked as you sight down the gutter. The curb side being the worst. I'm still not sure how it could be built this way. None of my previous trailers had the shoddy roof edge that my ORV has.
Bad squeak on the front edge of the slide floor just to the side of the pantry. Every time you go to the pantry the slide floor sqeaks/groans. Very annoying. Did a little investigating yesterday and can't really pinpoint why. I'm thinking it's the roller for the slide thats not solid or possibly defective. I even crawled under the slide and had the wife step on the sldie floor and while I can hear it I can't see it. May have to remove the seal on the floor edge to see what it may be. Or take it back to the dealer after camping season. Arrrg. 100 mile RT twice.
One of the dinette cushions is softer on the front edge than the other. Perplexing. One tends to sink a lot faster than the other when sitting on the entry end. Flipping the cushion 180* solves the issue, but still why?
Paint runs on the tongue. Oh well at least it won't rust where the runs are. LOL
During my prodding around behind the scenes I found the same rats nest of wires and plumbing that I've seen in my previous trailers and the same as other owners have posted from different brands.
I called Todd at ORV to ask about the roof edges and needed to leave a message. Never got a call back. May try again soon. I don't expect much though.
Am I disgruntled? Maybe a little but I expected it. Expecting it doesn't make it better or acceptable. But that's the nature of the RV beast. I read several brand forums and many others have way way worse issues. Not many with less.
I don't regret my purchase yet. I've only had it 4 months. Time will tell.
So far in 5 years of ownership all I've had to do is replace an A/C relay board, the grey and black tank valves, and the tires.
