Right, "Escargot"! - Terryallan has it - That's how you keep 'em employed!
Hmmmmmm.....Q for Mod "Dick A", from his post:
Are the "Quality Amish Craftsmen"..:W.. employed by many mfgrs - *not* "Honorable Christian" men?
Could that be the problem..:?
**************************************************************
Over the years - had new TT, slightly used TTs, slightly used slide-in camper, one new MH, one used MH, and a new 5th wheel (with a 2 year factory warranty).
The new RVs never needed any warranty work - although the mfgr of the 5th forgot to put the bottom door glide on the pocket door - guess I should have taken it back to the dealer......but it cost me a roaring $2. and about 5 minutes of my time.
(And my fault for not catching it on the PDI)
I guess All the used RVs must have had ALL the "fixits" done by previous owners, which kept lots of service folks gainfully employed! ROTFL...:W
BTW - way, WAY more (non "picky)) problems with new *vehicles* (cars & trucks) than any RV I've ever owned - which includes some of each of "the big three".
Usually the "under warranty" vehicles required two trips to get it right..:(

Well.... let me add another thought, and I know this will blister some reaction: "Nothing runs like a Deere!" I have 2 of them, and they are the best riding mowers I've ever owned.
What does that have to do with this thread?
Because of i5Trucker's comment. You've gotta read the entire thread. 🙂

I wonder how many people who complain about quality own a Newell or Prevost. Wanting high end quality and willing to pay for it are two different things.
If someone figured out a way to build them out of cardboard instead of sawdust and undercut the price by 30% there would be people that would buy them, and complain about the quality.

As well as keeping the people who get stuck with poor quality rigs employed just to keep up with the repairs...

But do consider, these campers ARE made in America, keeping a work force employed.

I know and I understand certain "quality" lacks in our American industry. But do consider, these campers ARE made in America, keeping a work force employed. Parts may come from other countries, but they ARE assembled in America keeping a work force employed.
I do wish every one who complains about the "lack" of quality in today's RV's could spend a couple weeks working on the manufacturing line and see if they could do it better. If they could do it better, then everyone wins!
