At the risk of being stoned, I have to comment on so called "Amish built" RVs. I used to live in northern Indiana where many RVs are built. Lots of builders up there from roofing companies to furniture makers leverage Amish workers, when nothing could be farther from the truth. If it was true, we wouldn't see the poor workmanship prevalent in RV's, especially trailers.
I won't mention the name, but my 2016 trailer was made by a company that says such things as "Amish inspire attention to detail" in their advertising. Yeah, right... I won't bore anyone by listing all the things in just 9 months of ownership that have come to light.
Maybe it's these companies that ought to be stoned for using the the Amish in their advertising!
FWIW, there are 50K Amish living in the State of Indiana (men, woman, children). There are 53K manufacturing workers in Elkhart County, IN, the hub of RV Mfg's. Are all of these Amish working in an RV plant? Probably not. :W
