I still wish I had my 54 ford convertible that I had in HS. But I know what you mean, my wife's 1967 Mustang eng only had 50K miles on the eng before it was changed. Yesterday's RV's were much simpler also. My first was a bread truck I converted into an RV. The next two were class B vans. No complicated systems and few problems compared to my Class A. I think the main reason people complain about low quality of their RV's is that they are not made in a production fashion like cars. Because of low quantity's much of the RV's are dependent on the skill of the workers rather than the production processes like NC machines . Setting up a production line using automated processes for a few hundred RV's would be cost prohibitive. Every trip something breaks or needs fixing. The only things I never had to fix were the two roof top AC's,furnace and the slide. Having said all that the refer, WH, HWH Jacks, furnace, ACs, genset are all 24 years old and still working.
