I'd be willing to bet more than 95% of all new RV buyers won't keep the RV 30yrs. The vast majority unload them long before 10yrs is up.
With very rare exceptions, the new RV buyer is not buying for 30yrs. With halfway decent maintenance, no problem keeping the rig dry for the 5-10yrs that they own it (or if they have no clue what maintenance to do, they likely have no clue what materials when into the construction).
No manufacturer is going to raise the MSRP drastically for something that the vast majority of buyers either don't care about or don't understand.
