Basically, I agree. But as to a similar situation with a car--each mfg has numerous dealerships around the US, and each usually has an associated body/frame shop with it. Not so with the RV mfgs, making it hard to get qualified warranty work without a long trip.
And the assembly of a car is a highly regimented, much repeated process hourly--again. not so with the RV mfgs. From what I can see/hear--many of the RV wiring/plumbing/etc assemblies may be done differently depending on who is doing the work that day.
It is indeed amazing that we put up with the shortcomings in the RVs that we would never allow in a car/truck purchase...
