RV's not HUD standard?

If RVs were required to be built to HUD specs the RV industry would be held to standards, not just thrown together. For example, some of the wiring in RVs are shameful. When my TT almost burned up we found bare wires twisted together in the walls. No crimp connector or insulation just twisted together. Some electrical tape would have helped. One RV turns out OK and the next one gets wires haphazardly spliced in a wall because the employee reached the end of the wire roll. Can't waste wire just twist it together and continue to string wire. Under HUD they would have to install a box at a splice.

And---price would double at least.

I guess if I was in the RV sleeping when those wires shorted the increased cost would probably be worth it. However, price is set by demand. Doubt price would double.
