C'mon, it wasn't bent, not from Dutchman, it was architecturally formed to meet specs.

The pic of the fresh water tank and filler hose telks the tale as to why we couldn't get the full advertised amount of water in there until the excess was cut out...

Also interesting that we see no workers in any pics at all

A couple a day! Who told you that? 12 - 15 per day is fact. The full body paints take weeks longer because they are subbed out to local paint shops for paint work who are always behind and that takes the most time. This is an assembly line where workers are paid by piece work... thats fact! Of course they are what they are, they're not a Prevost

Pretty sure he said 5 to 8 a day, depending on the model. Mine was a 10 week wait after build for paint. Done in January with the build and finished with paint in March.
