As an example, reading here you would think that RV's are fires waiting to happen, so I did some research. Yes, an RV fire is usually a total loss, but the research I did shows that total number of RV fires were less common than house fires, percentage wise. (Don't ask me for a source. I am too old and tired to look it up again.) This is just an example.
RV fires vs. number of RVs on the road...statistically insignificant.

You need to understand that the "quality" of most RV's would have the builders of Trabants hanging their heads in shame. Compared to a typical RV, a 1987 Hyundai an AMC Gremlin, or a Yugo is a paragon of quality.

It is well known that 40 percent of problem cars are mfged on Mon and Fri. Along with this, it is also known that 40 percent of sick days are on Mon and Fri.

Monday and Friday make up 40% of the workdays! Hmm... Statistics! You can make them say anything you want!

it is RV quality, not Amish quality that is the problem… placing blame on the lowest common denominator is seldom the answer…
if a RV company wants to build quality they will… they will demand it themselves and it will reflect on down the line……
if they want to limit time, materials, tooling, and training to improve the bottom line you get the just above average RV…
if you farter limit assembly line inspection and QC you get the average RV being sold today…
so where is the Amish or any other production assemblers control over any of this come in… the problem lies at the very top of the industry and the mfg.s…
that is why in my lifetime RV quality and RV quality control hasn’t changed very much at all…
