Doesn't everyone realize that RV's are no different than any other product being manufactured and sold? Yes, we've had the technology to make a light bulb that will last 100 years. But "they" won't manufacture it, because once someone buys the 100 year light bulb, they will never have to buy another one again, and maybe even their kids won't have to buy one either when they inherit that light bulb. If they are made that well, there is never any resale. Build them so well, no one will ever need another one, means the manufacturer WILL go out of business, socks will fail, and the CEO won't get his Christmas bonus.
They are designed to fail, forcing the consumer to purchase another one in time. That guarantees repeat business for the manufacture. It's not just RV's, it's EVERY single product we purchase!
Except we now have light bulbs that last 20 years or more, which is way longer than most people own their homes these days. They just charge more for the one time purchase and make their same profit.
