Look at US Thor owners; are we not one of the best examples for the same issues we are talking about? As I have said before, the RV I purchased in 1999 had fewer features than the coach I just purchased and basically at the same price as I paid in 1999. It did not have a motorized lowering bed, 3 cameras, automatic awning/, LED lighting, 3 TVs, tankless water heater, dual house battery, and a single piece frontal fiberglass structure! (it was a 30' 1999 Gulfsteam Class C).

We are all guilty here!
Indeed we are, however even back in 1999 the RV manufacturers were making junk. We had a 1999 Wilderness towable that completely fell apart--it didn't have any of the fancy stuff included today either. Got rid of it after only one season.
