What makes you think they have "never been in" the rigs they rate? Something some sales-geek told you? Something you read some internet "x-pert" wrote?
Now I've actually talked to the people behind the RV Consumer group, and understand how they do, what they do. It starts with actually looking at rigs, inside and out. They also tour factories and ask questions of the builder and builder-reps. Sometimes they even get answers (not always)
Some RV companies dislike them, a lot. Some years back a couple manufacturers (the old Fleetwood among them) got the people behind the Seattle RV show to "ban" known people from the RV Consumer Group from attending the Seattle RV show (to the point of being escorted out).
I formed my opinion on comments I read right here and on other forums from folks who got suckered in! Call them internet "x-pert" if you want. And it takes a lot more to review a coach than just walking in it. Many I've walked in at RV shows, I would not buy just because of poor fit and finish. But I still would make my determination by driving one. That tells all!!!
