IMHO, the majority of buyers aren't willing to pay for quality and just want a lot of bling for the cheapest price. Secondly, many purchasers don't take the time to research and learn what to look for when purchasing an RV. Then, there is the sliding scale of how much quality you need in an RV that you may only use for a short amount of time in a given year and may not keep for more than a few years before selling or purchasing a different RV. And, it's always very personal and subjective. We chose to buy a 2012 Newmar Bay Star because of its quality and features rather than buy a newer but lower quality entry unit.....at least by our perception and standard.
