I know it doesn't excuse crappy workmanship, but after spending several months building our own camper from scratch I don't see how they make any money selling these things for $25 to $35K new. Maybe they are able to get refrigerators for $100 new when I have to pay $1000.

generator, furnace, water heater, stove, refrigerator, A/C, inverter, batteries, holding tanks, motorized jacks, water pumps, sinks, toilet...

I just listed $5000 to $10,000 worth of stuff...

I looked at building my own TC from scratch, and this is EXACTLY why I didn't!! Add to that Al siding, and lightweight plywoods, and the cost just keeps going. I thought of buying an older/ damaged RV on the cheap just to scavenge appliances, but that's a $ gamble that the stuff is all serviceable.

Labor is the one area where I think a manufacturer can save/ make $$. It's not that much harder to make 10 of them than it is to make 1.
