[QUOTE="Skunked again, post: 501016, member: 7304"] Haven’t worked on an airstream, have worked on a 2018 keystone bullet. Build “quality”, is not in their vocabulary. Which, was one of the reasons we sold it. Did browse the airstream forum, saw similar issues with them as well. Just like boats, manufacturers trying to save money, which costs the customers in the future. - Not using treated wood, or at least making an attempt to “treat” the wood. - Using wood, when aluminum would have solved the issue, or prevented it all together. -Construction techniques that cause you more work down the road, but make it easier on the manufacturer. Ie, most travel trailers, when built, the floor is first. Wood on the frame, vinyl wrapped on the wood floor, walls attached to the floor/frame. A quick process. However, when you have a problem with the wood floor, and you will, you do not have access to that part of the floor, without removing the wall. [/QUOTE]
