Point is we shouldn't have to. America has learned to pay more for less and ignore pride and quality in workmanship. At least in the RV industry. Food for thought.

You are correct Bill, and I mean no disrespect on my original post. The RV dealers are parking new products on their lots which show MSRP of $165,000 after they actually pay the company between $80,000 and $90,000 for them. Then they have a huge "sale" price on them and mark them down to $135,000 and people flock in to buy their brand new $165,000 shiny new RV at a discount. Actually they are buying a product that was produced, including profit, for less than $90,000 so they just paid some RV retailer $45,000 dollars.
Chance is right about the low quality issues and the fact that people just keep buying these RVs. We only made the mistake of purchasing one new RV, from then on we have always looked for 2 or 3 year old units. We have had much better luck, price wise and quality wise, by purchasing good used units.
