In a second career, I was in manufacturing. Some of our biggest concerns to maintain quality were standardizing processes, materials and manpower. Getting trained, reliable manpower was always the biggest test. All of this on a product with a 14 second cycle time making upwards to 4500 units per day, selling for $450 per unit, with a $25 margin. Tight!!
Now think about how many rvs get made per day, how many variant models there are and then think about the article relative to manpower. It would be a nightmare trying to stabilize processes and manpower.
Not making any excuses for the manufacturers but know that everyone suffers from the same issues - even the high end shops.
