Reasons for high price:
Higher demand than availability for used units
Low production rate
Custom fit of cabinets and other components
Exchange rate makes Canada made items higher (Roadtrek, Pleasureway, etc)
Hopefully the new Ford and Chrysler vans will help drive the basic cost of the van down over time. Also, if more US based manufacturers get into making B's that will help. But for now, prices are high.
Not so.Canadian dollar is lower than US dollar. IF you check the prices of Canadian built B class Rvs sold in the US you will find that they are way cheaper Stateside. That applies to almost anything Canadians buy in Canada compared to buying the same thing in the US. My BMW is way,way cheaper in the US.
