I'd be interested to know how much they're actually paying for the furniture they put in these things, if that's more than $40 they're getting ripped off.

LCI furnishes most of the furniture for the cheaper coaches; Villa International for the more expensive. The retail prices in interior furniture prices are available. Wholesale is 30 to 35% off. <https://store.lci1.com/shop-by-department/furniture-mattresses/rv-furniture/theater-seating.html>
Ford chassis are $24,000 to $69, 000 when modified by MorRyde. House walls, floor and ceiling materials are 35% of the cost, labor 45%, wiring 8%, and the remaining 12% is appliances and furnishings. Add 40% for dealer profit and you get the list price . For my 31 foot Hurricane (my cost new ($86,500) would estimate cost $39,000 for the chassis so that leaves $10,400 for 3 TV, 2 A/Cs, stove, water heater, fridge, flooring, power captain chairs, outside kitchen, cabinets, bed surround wardrobe, etc. If you go by plant 750, they will show you the average coach cost break-down. At least they did it for us as we were the only two in the tour.
