A few thoughts-
Design... design the thing to be assembly line built, with parts ready to install, and not cut to fit. *Every* part should be ready to install, down to interior panels cut out on cnc routers. Wiring should be premade harnesses, plumbing parts pre cut and ready to install. LP lines should be modern thermoplastic. LP and fresh water lines should be "star" runs with no fittings other than manifold and fixture.
As each unit runs down the line, each appliance should be noted (by bar code), at the end of the line a USB stick is produced with manuals, model and serial numbers, along with pre-produced relevant videos. A copy of this should be stored by the OEM, as well, so it can be retrieved from the "cloud" at a later date.
