it is RV quality, not Amish quality that is the problem… placing blame on the lowest common denominator is seldom the answer…
if a RV company wants to build quality they will… they will demand it themselves and it will reflect on down the line……
if they want to limit time, materials, tooling, and training to improve the bottom line you get the just above average RV…
if you farter limit assembly line inspection and QC you get the average RV being sold today…
so where is the Amish or any other production assemblers control over any of this come in… the problem lies at the very top of the industry and the mfg.s…
that is why in my lifetime RV quality and RV quality control hasn’t changed very much at all…
I agree with all the above. The other issue is that we, the American public, are unwilling to pay the price that a real quality built unit will cost.
The main issue of anything being made and sold is: Will there be a market/buyers? With the proliferation of cheap built units is I guess that most of us are unwilling to pay for quality. (With some exceptions)
