I agree with a lot of what he says but also agree that some of what he says is not entirely accurate. There is a cost to quality and coaches that are better built do cost a lot more than the junk rigs.
I do agree that RV manufacturers need to develop stronger dealer relationships and networks. And it is true that, even with the better brands, there is too much finger pointing and hand offs when there are issues with things the maker of the box did not build.
Bottom line, I believe the RV industry will do OK until the economy tanks again.... and it will. Also, as long as there are ill informed buyers (and there are many) who buy for glitz, auto everything, IPads that turn your lights on, and swirly paint, the industry will still sell a bunch.
