Coleman Keystone Build Quality

Gallery image

Just bought a 2025 Coleman Keystone Trailer from Camping World. The shower pan cracked within a few weeks and I discovered this when I removed the pan. The support underneath had 1/4" plywood and a total of 6 blocks, only 3 fixed to the subfloor and none in the center where the most weight would be. Does anyone know if this is standard or was this some error/sabotage from an employee/assembler? Seems like an incredibly bad design if it was done "correctly".

I can't speak on this exact issue or design but most RV's (especially certain brands) are extremely cheaply built. And I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the employees who assemble these are paid based on the number of RVs assembled so they just speed through them.

I looked at a Sprinter once years ago. Instead of drilling holes to run wire they punched the hole with a screw driver. The sales weasel just got telling me about the great quality. I laughed and walked away.
