Sure, the American Mfg's can adapt different processes from around the world and have. The premise of the title of this thread is that Japan can build anything better and that RV's would be one more thing they are better at building. IMO, it's a perception that is incorrect.
Install a new overhead light in your Japanese house, you'll need the plug to do so as their devices all plug into a two-pin socket. And be sure you're on the correct side of the island because part of the country operates on 100V. This was part of the Fukushima recovery disaster. Since they located their cooling backup gear on the ocean side of the towers, when the tidal wave hit it swamped the generators. They rushed to get additional backup generators to run the cooling pumps but when they arrived, they found out they couldn't use them because of the voltage difference.
Some Japanese work 12+ hrs a day and if it isn't worth the 2 hr commute to get home, they get a plastic barrel to sleep in for $50/night.
I could go on but it really is to no avail, people will think the grass is always greener over somewhere and that their Japanese vehicle is always better than a Domestic. I've had ownership and my hands on repairing most of the Imports and US. I know that Japan isn't doing anything special.
