RV Quality
I have been wanting to buy a RV. But the more I read about all of the different Classes and how many items need to be fixed. It seems to me that most if not all RV's are money pits. I understand thing...

Every time I point out an issue, many come right back defending the junk. As long as folks blame the user instead of the manufacturer nothing will change. It would be best if you look at a new RV as a pile of materials that needs assembly, you will have the correct outlook.
Amen brother! Most forums either blame the user, or claim that repairs allow us to learn more about our units. I am not a repairman and didn't buy a RV to learn how to become one.
And, quality does not necessarily mean higher cost. Many of us oldtimers remember when foreign carmakers taught Detroit a lesson by building lower cost and higher quality cars.
THe foreign car thing and competition sounds good, but RV's are not cars. RV's are an American thing. The large RV's only work on America large Roads and super highways. All foreign countries have cars but few have RV's on the scale of the USA. There is not enough demand or market share to entice foreign competition.
EXACTLY!!!
I really get tired of all the comments about the RV industry needing the same foreign competition that the US auto market got.
Lantley nailed the reasons it won't happen.
Heck the costs for shipping foreign made RVs would make it unprofitable.
And you can't automate RV assembly like the auto industry has.
