Oh yeah it is a huge problem. I brought a brand new Transit 150 mid roof in 2015.
Had this happen to me also. good thing it was still under warranty. I got it fixed no cost to me.
Well I finally started my build on the 8' x 18' trailer. This trailer is a redo build I totally gutted it and need to have it finished for the fall / winter season this is my home.

Oh definitely, I would never buy any pre-made rv they are all junk. Even the elite high priced luxury ones are garbage.

I have been here 7 years now. I love it but want to go part time and spend my winters boondocking in Quartzsite for the winter.
I am going with a 24v 2000 watt solar system and 400 amp hour bank.
Thanks for the info. I plan on putting in dual pane windows and will have 2 maxxair fans 1 in front and 1 in back of the cargo trailer.
