"Elkhart-built" is definitely a thing. While Ember has some family roots in traditional RV companies, I did note it was a relatively new company, with potential for fresh approach. But same familiar quality control issues as all the big builders. (Man, can you imagine any car company skipping steps like this as frequently as RV manufacturers apparently do?)
I’m positive that RVing has tested my patience and pocketbook so many times…I started out a different person than I am now. I remember driving back from Alaska with a $1400 new headlight assembly and memories of being terrified repeatedly. I felt like every nerve in my body, every fear in my head, had been tested and stretched to the limit. I had faced my fear of bears. Tested my wits and will. I had nowhere to go but down. Down into relief. Down into relaxation. Such is the hidden benefit of RVing.
Rats. Sorry to hear this, Craig. But as you said, we learn and have to find the silver lining in it all. Hope you’re up and repaired and back on the road soon! Sending love and prayers.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this setback, especially this time of year! I wish you a speedy recovery Craig!
Sounds to me like you need to spend some more time with someone who exudes “unflappable hope in the face of breathtaking sorrow.”
