Not sure why we don't go after the industry with personal or class action suits.

Honestly, and I know some or most of you don't want to hear this but IMO the vast majority of RVers DO NOT have problems. That's why there are no class action lawsuits or any other general uproar over RV quality. One thing I've noticed on most forums is that people go to them to get a fix for a problem. Well guess what? If most of a forums userbase consists of people with minor to major problems, you'll get a skewed view of quality on ANY product. Not to say issues don't exist but I tend to put things in perspective. Now I'm a RV newb, my first one was a 5er from Keystone (supposed POS) and yeah it was low end but I only had one problem with it and that was the rear axle brake wire broke. My 09 MH's slide was out of alignment on the bottom by a 1/4" and that was easily fixed. That's it. There was no list of problems that needed to be fixed on either one and quite frankly I would NEVER accept anything with a "list of problems" no matter how minor. In closing, when I talk to owners that don't do forums, they're experiences are in direct contrast to what I read hear so I tend to go lean towards theirs and balance it with what I read here.

I agree. We have talked to a lot of people in the campgrounds about their experiences with dealers and manufacturers. When I bring up RV.net, most are like huh, what's that? You know, the Internet, oh yes that... I find it interesting too that the ones with the problems know all about RV.NET. :)

Probably because most of us had a problem and did research on others that might have the same problem or owners group .. thats how I found this forum many years ago now( Aerolite trailer.. a Thor product at the time !! )
. The other 20 couples in the good Sam Rv group we belong to haven't even heard of this forum or have no interest in reading it I mention it and get a blank stare.
Like I posted before take a Thor factory tour and then tour Winebago or Newmar and it will become clear. Personally if i were buying new I wouldn't buy without taking the time to tour the factory .. You can learn a lot!
