Thank you, you two, we just read that a day or so ago. We also sent the post to others on another forum to who wanted to argue with us about all new RV’s getting QA. I tried to tell them what the Heartland QA person for their company at the time told us, the QA is random. They bought a Brinkley later last year. Some things you can not notice or able to check, but go over with them with a fine comb. Some have a few more recalls then others, take that into effect. Be careful, get them done so you can enjoy and be safe.
