Pressure treated wood
A side from a few bucks extra why don't rv builders that still use wood framing why don't they use pressure treated wood and house wrap any where there is the possibility of water intrusion??

Modern PT wood chemicals are highly corrosive to aluminum (and some other metals, but particularly aluminum), which is used a good bit in RV construction. It would not be nice to have your outside siding dissolve away in a couple of years.
I don't know that house wrap would help things much; the usual route for water intrusion is not through the side of the wall, but through openings and seams where the hose wrap wouldn't seal. It might help to keep any moisture that got in within the shell of the RV, which would be a detriment.
