If the government would do smart regulation, great. However, the regulation I've been seeing these past few years does little to nothing for safety. For example, on diesels, the DPF/DEF stuff which has done little except add more headaches for the consumer, and cash for the diesel makers when someone's DPF gets plugged. If the government steps in, we might see some brain-damaged attempt at something (like how the EPA put too many pollution regs in too fast and killed the US's steel industry), but the problem will not be addressed in a way that means we see better quality RVs in upcoming model years.
It would be far better if RVIA took the lead, as they are the only body that RV makers are accountable to these days.
DEF has been used in Europe for many years. DEF is used to help curtail emissions-the diesel motors have been getting away with high emissions for years and now are being brought in to compliance. It's about time.
