You mentioned that these are things pushed by the RV industry as "must haves" and that is the marketing scam.
However, I think these are more often pushed by other RVers than by the industry. I have not had a dealer, retailer, or repair shop tell me that any of the above are required - I haven't had any even mention them. But, I have read forum thread after forum thread filled with other RVers stating that these are non-negotiable, must have or your RV will fall apart, items.
So, is it really the industry that has a marketing scam going? Or is it simply people making choices and then trying to justify them at every opportunity?
My dealer and service department ran down the OP's list, almost verbatim. They worked especially hard on the sway control and weight stributing hardware, must be a lot of margin there.
