CHINA why the reliance regarding RV parts & accessories

I am preparing for a telephone call from Lin Xao Peng. Nine PM sharp. His calls are "monitored" but I'll try my best. I am UPSET to find most of my vendor list out of business. Internet and emails are monitored mucg more closely than phone calls. He always gives me time to prepare
Gottago. Goodnight!

Not to worry on this end - somewhat. Here's the spare RV coach parts we carry right in it everywhere we go:

- water pump
- hot water heater igniter
- water heater drain plugs
- refrigerator igniter.
- cooktop rubber isolation grommets.
- shower head
- Onan spark plug
- fresh water plumbing .... tubing and fittings
- portable charger to back up the Parallax converter
- spare sewer hose
- spare sewer FlushKing
- spare battery/alternator disconnect solenoid

I'm WAY WAY WAY more concerned about the spare parts - electronic and otherwise - for our Military that come from China ... our eventual, if not already current ... enemy!!!!!!

I don't believe the current turmoil in the Chinese economy will have long term effects on most of the products we buy from China. The economy in China has been struggling for some time and the government has been actively involved in trying to minimize the damage.

What started the massive decline in the financial markets we are currently experiencing was China's announcement that it was going to devalue its currency to make Chinese products cheaper overseas. Today, China announced it will cut its interest rates to make its products even more competitive.

Short term, we may experience some temporary disruption in the supply chain of some Chinese made products, however, I doubt RV products/parts made in China are going to permanently disappear.

You have to keep in mind the Chinese economy is based on a mercantile system that enriches China by restraining imports and encouraging exports.

IMO, we're going to see liquidation prices on many US consumer items produced in China for the short-term. Once excess inventory is reduced and the Chinese market stabilizes (survival of the fittest), we'll see a steady, long-term increase in the price of all US consumer goods produced in China.

China will probably soon discover (inadvertently) the successful and profitable strategy of purposely reducing production to increase profit works well---just like it does for US refineries.

This strategy will work until another producer of inexpensive consumer products steps up to the plate. Years ago it used to Japan, until their labor costs skyrocketed. Now it's China and Korea. Just a matter of time before their labor costs skyrocket, too.

Want to buy cheap LED's and RV parts on eBay 5-10 years from now? Not to worry, China will probably open up plants in India to produce them--lol!

The new "world economy" will always be in the state of flux. Not too long ago, it was the Euro, today it's China, and tomorrow, it will be ???...

YOUR JOB

But that's just a blip, remember.


Collapse is coming, instead of buying gold or silver I stock up on RV parts.

Better stock up on Motorhome, and other RV magazines. 'Cause your DW will beat you to death if you take her camping in a rig that most everything malfunctions or doesn't start.

MADE IN USA

Sewer hose $300

Converter $600

Tires $400 ea.

Your handy-dandy Bluetooth $700 - $1500


The Technocrat Designed economy is so intertwined it isn't funny. Neither is finding out EXACTLY what the USA exports.

I hope this blows over. But THE FEAR has been put into investors from Mongolia to Montana. And if you believe the Greexit danger is passed, you have another think coming. There is no way in Hell Greeks are tolerant of going infinitely deeper in debt borrowing money to pay for past loans. Hide and watch.

And NINE OUT OF TEN eBay sources for things I buy have disappeared. Wait if you wish then weep. China is SOLE SOURCE for many of our items. They can raise prices three hundred percent and pal you is screwed.

All the things you cite were once MADE IN THE USA but Well. Companies have moved AMERICAN jobs to China at an alarming rate.

Some things are not RETURNING to American Soil. there is, Today, a line of televisions and monitors MADE once again IN THE USA. (element is I believe the brand,, some of them are made in Michigan.. this is good for me).

But a few years ago you could not find a US made TV (I'm speaking of final assembly.. Alas, some of the parts (many of them) still have to be imported)

I know one company which now makes parts IN HOUSE for many of their products because there is no overseas supplier who makes quality parts. (I also have some of their hardware).

We need to bring back more manufacturing to the US.. I mean with not one computer made in the USA what happens if we go to war with the country that makes them and all our war fleet is running on PC's. DEAD IN THE WATER is what happens.

Hey, they like our beans.

My rig is 15 yr old so I thought I would keep a spare water pump on hand. This means the original will never go bad.

I didn't know Chinese manufacturing was going to collapse. If the wages get too high they will be adjusted regardless of who objects. That's how it works when the other guy is holding all the ak 47's
