Had an interesting experience recently at the CG. I noticed our new neighbor had a beautiful, brand new Leisure Travel Libero B+. I wandered over and we started chatting out our rigs. Not being fam...

I can understand folks not caring to repeatedly build or repair things around them that directly support their lifestyle, as they may have other on-going material or non-material interests in their lives. What I don't understand is folks not wanting at the very least a head knowledge of the complex world around them that is affecting every aspect of their daily lives - including exactly what kind of, and what's "inside", an RV they spent all the money on. The human mind is a wonderful thing ... it will not be damaged by exercising it's curiosity section every once in awhile.
For instance: I built our first color television so the rest of my life I'd know what was going on inside them. The DW and myself built the house we're living in so we would know how houses are made - including all electrical, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and the well and it's storage tank system. Myself and a friend rebuilt a V8 engine once using only an instruction manual so we would know what is inside a V8 engine. I replaced the drum brakes on an old Ford pickup once to know how they work. My dad and myself built a TT RV once so now I know partially what things to consider in a TT's structure. I fixed my laptop's broken LCD screen several months ago so I'd know what was in there. I replaced the tumblers in a lock this fall so I would know what's inside a lock.
All the above kind of projects I have no desire to do ever again ... too much work for my lazy streak -> but at least after all that I know a little bit about what's around us in this world. It seems like everyone should want this to some extent so they're not living in a fog. :h
