So in this analogy the big box store is in Dallas, Texas area and keeps costs down by selling huge volume. And because motorhomes are relatively expensive, it's often worth it flying to Texas and driving the MH back home, where the local dealer then is expected to fix all the issues resulting from poor quality control.
Like you I see both side of issue but have a hard time understanding those who don't see the problem from the dealers' perspective.
I personally blame technology for some of this problem. Not that long ago a person looking to buy a motorhome would not have been able to search for best prices anywhere in US. The Internet makes that extremely easy. It seems to me that businesses, and buyers, haven't adjusted completely to this new reality, or the unintended consequences that follow.
