RV Construction References

Does anyone have a good location where us new people can find a single source for RV construction methods?

I've read a few articles and watched some videos by various RV builders. I know that in the end one has to decide for themselves what is important. I was hoping to find a trusted source that compares the pros and cons of each method.

  • You may wish to include the 'Plant Tour' at the Rexhall web site:
    www.rexhall.com
    Rexhall Motorhomes
    Note the all welded steel unibody construction. This is the main reason I selected Rexhall - seems to me (a non-engineer) to be a better choice than wood and thin aluminum framework for the base of a motorhome.
  • I've found no single reference, and visiting five different manufacturers was enough to teach me that there are at least five different approaches to construction.

    Think the topic is to much? Maybe I should have just asked for a general list of what components or methods to study up on.
