Why are RVs so poorly made? – Curbed

Why are RVs so poorly made? – Curbed

The rule, typically, is don’t buy a new RV. If you buy a new RV, you’re going to be sitting in a dealership for two years getting it fixed.

I've never had much interest in RVs or real truck campers, it just seems like a lot of stuff to go wrong and break. Plus who needs all those curtans, padding, and fake wood paneling made out of formaldehyde?
