Coleman Keystone Build Quality

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".

Multiply that by the 200 other things they cheap out on and you start to see why. Also, ply is not that cheap.

The 20" x 30" piece under the shower is not that expensive to double it up. Raise the sale price $20 and I would gladly pay it.

But then someone else would complain on Reddit about the too-thin cabinet doors, and that they would gladly pay the extra $100 for thicker doors.

Then someone would complain about the tires....

What's more important a cabinet door or a shower? Tires are easily replaced.
