I’m not the best guy to ask because while I may have high expectations for design and quality, I have very low expectations on what I need to enjoy traveling and or camping. Unlike many buyers, I honestly don’t want to take my house with me. I want a motorhome as small and simple as possible, and no simpler.
To your question of cost: Yes, in my opinion it would cost more to build things right, or at least better. We’ve had that conversation here before, and some QA types have disagreed with me, saying that in the long run it costs less. It’s sometimes difficult to quantify, so cost of quality remains subjective to some degree.
I don’t want to hijack thread, so will only say that yes, I’d pay more for higher quality, but would offset some of the cost premium by eliminating content I find unnecessary for “camping” and or traveling.
On topic, I will say that I expect an all-electric RV “house” will offer a great opportunity to simplify RV design, which should lead to higher quality for many units. The less often RVs are used, the greater the need to make them as simple as possible in my opinion.
