After dealing with boats for a long time I know that unless you are DIY type person you are going to be very frustrated having to take it in for every little thing. I think RVs are even worse and if you aren't DIY inclined then I can see where the rants come from. Personally I'd rather fix something myself ( $100 or less )then take it in for warranty work. 1. because its a hassle 2. because I'm going to treat my rig better than the avg tech.

Then there should be =no= warranty on the RV and the price should reflect this.

Sometimes we make light of this problem because we know it's a complicated problem to solve. In fact, some of us believe there is NO solution.
The owners and managers of RV factories operate their business THEIR way. We can't change that. Where do you find workers who are willing to work the way WE want them to work,....for the salaries that are being offered? If we IMPORT workers who are willing to work at this job, pretty soon they want a better job,....and they want THEIR kids to have better jobs. IMO this cycle has been going on "forever".
