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...

If they built higher quality units they'd probably price many of us out of the market.
Maybe but that didn't happen with automobiles.
No, but prices went up about 8x from late 1960s to today. Not all of that is inflation, and a big part of inflation has been the cost of bringing quality of big ticket items up to meet regulatory standards.
You can buy a higher quality RV for 3x to 5x the price of mass market products. To do that would price most of today's buyers out of the market. The niche for price of quality in RVs is quite small, as the are not a necessary item in our culture, as cars are. For cars, we pay what we have to, and a big part of the market is still the folks who need a car but don't buy one until it's price is down to 1/5th of what someone affluent paid for it new.
