Great comments - another 'thanks' for the effort...
Construction Debris...alas, an age old problem...When we ripped out all the old original carpet from our 30 year old Ambassador (built in Ohio), we found a couple dozen pop rivets and many more pop rivet 'pins'...
Can't blame today's AS builders for our 'debris', but it was still a 'sloppy' approach, IMHO - out of sight, out of mind kind of thing - or the production schedule was calling for the units to get out the door in a hurry, perhaps...in any event, a 'fixable' situation with management's commitment to training the assemblers and making them aware of the customer's views and examples in this area...Robert's picture of a piece of vent pipe 'debris' is a bit much to have a customer deal with, IMHO, and should never happen if the QC and assemblers are instructed to look at these issues from the customer's point of view!
When going through the renovation process with our AS, I am still impressed with the soundness of the basic frame and cabin structure - after thirty odd years of use, it's still a sound, tight structure...sure some of the appliances are dated, worn, and those dang tambour 'doors' are a pain - but hey, they're old, and have done their job over the years...
Looking forward to more comments from management as the time allows - BTW, love those old spec sheets and data...thanks again.
