Don't try to justify a whole industry pushing crap on the unsuspecting public. Remember the late '70s and early '80s American automobiles? They were pretty nice compared to the current RV industry.

Unfortunately SuperD is right... they have no incentive to change... Its not justifying it - just hard facts...
The auto industry didn't change until the Japanese imports took away their sales with better quality cars... It takes a economic impact to force change... I don't see foreign imports competing for RV's - but it would be a wake up call for the industry if they did.
If people stopped buying RV's because of the quality - it would force a change - but that doesn't seem to be happening...
I've had friends interested in RV'ing - and I encourage it - but insure they come in with their eyes open... If I can't fix the industry - I can at least let my input into the 'unsuspecting public' make them aware before they leap...
Should we 'shut up and be happy about it' - certainly not... but there isn't a high quality choice out there that we can choose to spend our money on instead... They ALL have the same quality issues...
If even ONE manufacturer would step up and address it - it would force a change... but it is a risk, expensive, and I'm not holding my breath...
But if you are reading this Thor - think about the competitive advantage you would have if you took the lead...
