I certainly hope and rather doubt things will get as bad as MEXICOWANDERER has suggested.
However, there is a certain reality that parallels what he is saying.
Chinese (to include Taiwanese, Mexican, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc.) components have metastasized throughout the entire US production process. I rather doubt most manufacturers of more complex Made in the USA products really know beyond a shadow of a doubt where each and every sub-component they purchase is truly made, or who really makes every component of their production equipment. Sometimes all it takes is one specialized chip or screw to completely stop production.
Bottom line, if you were to shut down or limit trade between China and the US, I believe each and every one of us, to include the Department of Defense, would be shocked at the depth of the impact. The least of your worries would be that part you need to fix your RV.
