RV Problems
I see a lot of posts on this site and others about problems that folks have with their "new" campers (of all classes). I wonder how much of this is unrealistic expectations on the part of new RV ...

Your foreign import comment is spot on.
Not really. If you all put away the rose colored glasses, the Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans of the 70's were unreliable rust buckets too. Even modern Hondas an Toyotas have plenty of issues. But we are told they are "better" so we brush those issues aside.
One of the biggest issues in the RV industry is the limited number of suppliers to the manufacturers. When you only have a couple of primary manufacturers for items such as frames, refrigerators, ACs, etc, the builders are kind of stuck. Maybe some of the foreign imports could be an alternative to the parts that go into these rigs.
No different than the auto industry. There are very few makers of most auto parts. Which is why recalls such as the Takata airbag recall affect so many vehicles. There has been a LOT of consolidation in the industry and there are very few suppliers of parts to all the OEM's in the auto industry.
