Oh.. looking at this thread, I realized how lucky I was.
I did not have that many issues.. may be about 4.
- Outside sprayport has not water
- Floor got damaged by the slide-out
- TV is installed the right side lower than the left
- Kitchen sink's cover got somehow stuck to the caulk around the sink. I pulled out the cover with my force and it ripped out some part of the caulk. I had to caulk it again.
RV trailers are manually built with hands..I guess minor defects can't be avoided.
I will probably consider Lance next time, but I'm happy with my GD trailer so far (Imagine 2400bh)

I feel lucky too with our imagine, I think I’ve found three faults now. But it seems wrong that the folks spending 2x-3x as much are this many problems.

Great eyesight. My 2930 hot and cold was plumbed backwards. Hard to tell those blue and red hoses apart. Also insulation left on ends of AC connectors. So AC obviously didn't work. Easy fixes but again shouldn't have left factory. Id say they never checked the hot and cold faucets or turned the AC on. Next item is a very squeaky and squishy floor on front of kitchen slide. No telling what's causing that. On the list to be checked when goes back to the dealer. Have owned it little over a month now and made three weekend trips. Too early to take back to the dealer until other unknown gremlins appear.

I get the NHTSA report in my email every week on Monday. Since I have been getting it - only several months - GD has been on Zer times. I know that this is only for relatively major items, but Everyone EXCEPT GD has been on it. As for Issues with some rigs as posted here, I feel bad that you are having these issues. It's a shame and should not happen. I have had only minor issues, and both the dealer and GD responded promptly with parts - to the extent of Overkill. That being said there is simply too much inconsistency out there, be it GD, Keystone, or the multitude of others. Therefore for self protection alone, if you have fears, as JCZhome has suggested, get a certified inspector. I did not, and have had no issues that my PDI picked up, and the dealer was right there going over everything. Everything I found later was minor, and arguably did not HAVE to be fixed. As has been stated many times in multiple previous threads, we hear mainly about the issues, not the bright spots, and that's probably how it should be.

GDRV does not test the water system using water for new builds or "re-builds." Stay with me now........they don't use a different fluid either or do they have a top secret water testing weapon. I was going to say "high tech" secret water system but I knew you folks would see right through that.
They test the water system in the nearly 300 point pre-delivery factory PDI using an air pressure test. Hmmmm......well we know that approach will not catch potential water leaks because occasionally some owners do experience a water leak. We found out last spring after getting our walls replaced along with having a new water system panel installed. Yup, you guessed it, when we hooked up to city water we had a massive leak. Thank goodness we were at the GDRV factory campground. I called Val in the service center and seconds later there was a tech walking across the parking lot to our RV.
I shared that I was totally caught off guard and a little dis-appointed that our re-built RV had a massive water leak that I had to find. That's when he share that they only do a pressure test and not by using water from the pump or city hookups. I asked why an air pressure test would be fine but a water hook-up test would fail. I do not recall the answer that he gave. I suspect some of the much smarter folks on here can chime in and answer that.
