As someone who has been involved in the RV industry for almost 50 years(OEM and a Dealer Tech), the problems are not that great. The Internet just allows for people that have major problems to post. People that are happy have better things to do with their life than waste time posting on the Internet. The Majority of RV'ers experience NO problems that inhibit the use of the motorhome. I can remember the Trailers and Motorhomes were just a box on a chassis and had a AC/Furnace/water heater/Refer. NO TV's/Microwaves VCR's and such. The Chassis are supplied by VERY LARGE Makers of chassis's. Engines and Transmissions the same. Appliances in the RV's are supplied by LARGE suppliers. You cannot blame the OEM's for appliances and chassis issues when they fail. Just like you don't blame the Residential home builder when the appliances and such fail. Remember, a lot of postings on forums are for older RV's and they break or people need help. MY happiest customers are the people that use their RV more than 6 months a year. They are IN the RV and get the various problems worked out in a few months and then go enjoy it. The dissatisfied RV'ers I have never use the new RV and never get the shakedown items addressed and each time they infrequently take it out those problems ruin their experience. Doug
