I agree we were not looking a high end models as there were none at this show, in fact very few MH were even there. However in general based on what we saw, most all the TT and 5r's that were at the show displayed a poor standard of quality buildmenship if you will, on all the finnish work. Many different mfgrs were on display. If I were going to pay 25-30 grand on a 26' TT I would expect a solid or at least a formica countertop, not a vinyl laminated soon to peel off cheapy. I even made mention this to many of the sales personnel and they just seemed to shrug their shoulders. In fact one guy stated that is what they send us, so that is what we sell! One unit had a cutaway on a wall to show internal construction, the panels are about 3/32" thick at best, backed up with foam board and a 2x2 every 4'....pitifull.. Be interesting to see how long these last, lets see them in 20 - 25yrs.... I expected to see this type of construction on their least expensive camper units but it appeared to be pretty common thru out the entire show, even on campers near the 100,000 range...
