Wow! You've blamed the Chinese, the school system, the parents, and the young generation for the quality of RVs. But you let the manufacturers off the hook because they're just doing what we want...
Actually, no. I made it pretty clear that they are unscrupulous jackwagons who are taking advantage of the gestalt of the situation.
But, that is there nature.
Have you never heard the fable of the scorpion and the toad?
Do you fault the scorpion for its nature?
Or do you keep your guard up and do the best you can with your own limited resources to avoid dealing with the scorpions?

Edit: And I blamed pretty much everybody, not just young folks, schools and parents. I also threw in the olds farts who try to act 17 and the media.
This country is circling the drain.
In the grand scheme of things not being able to get any quality workmanship at any price point any more for just about anything you buy (including houses and RVs) is just very small reflection of much larger problems.
Well, there were so many you blamed, it was not surprising I missed a couple. :)
But I still think you're giving the manufacturers a get out of jail card.
When it comes to individuals, I think you are what you are (the scorpion concept). But an industry or company is not inherently one thing or another. They become what they are because the toads let the scorpions control - not because the industry IS a scorpion. The industry can be better regardless of any single individual scorpion in its midst. And that they choose to run like a scorpion is on them.
