Must have hired the welders away from Lippert. Top quality lumber too. Can they make these things any cheaper??No insulation may be a problem, bit look at those welds!
When we were looking at our rig thinking about buying it, Heartland's rep was there & he was bragging about having welded aluminum studs, etc. in the outside walls. I jokingly asked him if they got their welders from the local VoTech, I think it insulted him. Kind of looks like the VoTech is sending the kids over there to learn how to weld!!!
I think that happens a lot with the post. You can always reinforce the joins and you are correct in that the stringers are not necessaryI'm not defending the work or the welds but the two pieces running the length of the coach are just stringers to make the square. I see no need for a full length weld as this isn't a structural stress joint.
As to the wood's quality, yep light weight scrap material but the same exists in your S&B behind the walls for the same applications.
In addition I'll add this post is going sideways as many on here do...

Your right. They were hot in DC this past weekend.You all do realize that your windows probably provide 50 times as much surface area for heat transfer. And they're right in the line of fire for direct afternoon sun. And since hot air rises, a little heat over that fan space is probably a very minor concern.
I think you're hunting for mice in the backyard while the elephants are crashing through the front yard.
If there's a concern about heat transfer around the fan, I'd be more concerned about it during the winter.
