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...

Many people become brand loyalists and fear any negative comments will depreciate the resale price. The facts support that most RV are poor quality and/or questionable engineering. The suspension and running gear is a case in point. Many pay more attention to the TV ability to pull a trailer and very little attention to the trailer's running gear. The Asian auto makers are what made the US auto makers do a better job in manufacturing-- that most likely will be what would make the American RV manufacturers shape up and build better and safer rigs. For some reason the US customers' will not cause the needed changes.
I know that it's just you, but do you mean that the quality problem is the fault of the consumer? OK, I dasn't keep beating the dead horse....:B
But, I will say this: Some of us KNOWINGLY bought a RV that had design deficiencies and construction-material questions and workmanship quality questions as well. You see, we were NOT going to waste any more years of our life in order to ENJOY the RV lifestyle. And, I'm glad I did. Sure, the RV that WE can afford is no NEWELL, nor is it a well-made Cadillac (I bought a new SRX a few months ago). I dern sure am not going to wait for something that's not going to happen. I enjoy my big motorhome NOW,.....after spending MY time to fix it myself. That's the way it is. We me fixing on it, mine will last 25 years.
