I guess I would not be able to agree with this 100% based on our 07 190p on a Chevy.
The "light" plywood they use is indeed light, which is needed, but it is also very light in strength when it comes to holding screws. We have had stripped and pulling out screws in multiple places. Many corners are also just held together with corner blocks and staples. The plywood can't be glued in the corners or other joints because the veneer is vinyl so the glue won't stick well. I have had to add t-nuts a couple of places where they can be used and also corner blocks with screws though from the outside instead of stapled from the inside. The vinyl ages differently than the wood so mismatches badly after a few years, even worse than when it was new.
We got our 190 new and wouldn't want anything else, but there are some things about it that were not done very well. Cabinetry and wiring are a couple of them.
