That would require a website. As you have lemon laws for Automibiles in the US, ( Do you have website that justifies the US Automotive Lemon Laws?)because of consumer complaints about Automobile quality it appears reasonable you should have Lemon law regards RV's in the US?.not hard to find evidence on line of some real clunkers, in the US It is about time you actually introduced a Lemon Law.It would hopefully make the few US RV's imported into Australia acceptable , my point in the previous post.

Lemon Laws being introduced in Australia are trying to address the Lemons that are being imported , mainly Chinese and US sourced imports and local manufacturers who do not toe the line

1) I'm not claiming lemon laws in the USA were due to inferior Aussie products. In fact when lemon laws were implemented, imports of cars were a tiny portion of the market and to my knowledge, no import angle was used.
2) They were implemented around 40 years ago. So any current data would be skewed by the fact the law is present.
3) Lemon laws in the USA really haven't done anything. It's near impossible to check all the boxes to actually get a car qualified as a lemon (legally speaking). What fixed the USA auto industry was opening it to competition. The domestics had no choice but to improve or be pushed out by the competition.

Again, the big issue is you (and presumably your local politicians) are pushing it as an import issue. If it was simply a quality issue, there would be no need to highlight the import relationship. Simply specify the quality issues that would make it a lemon and don't bring up the import relationship.

By highlighting the import relationship, it leads one to believe it really is about protectionist actions. If there is no documented statistical pattern, it is the logical conclusion that it is about protectionist measures and not about quality.
