I guess I'm thinking with all the discussion about quality issues, an American manufacturer could take a shot at a version of one of these, focus on rugged and quality overall, maybe capture a decent market share (yes narrow)...

Well we're back from our weekend trip and our tin & cardboard Coachmen seemed to survive just fine, no more issues that I know of aside from the previous leaks and cracked frame. :S
The problem here in N America is we long ago got used to and now insist upon WalMart pricing for just about everything, including RVs, and until we change our own tune the manufacturers are going to continue giving us only what we're willing to pay for. It's just a different mindset Downunder. :)
