Coleman air conditioners, suburban water heaters dometic and suburban furnaces. It is or almost is a monopoly on these parts.

No mater which rv brand you buy they all use these components. Is this an excuse for some of the problems absolutely not! I agree the rv industry needs to do a better job itself and demand better quality from these manufactures as well, not sure it will happen however. it is time for rv manufacturers to start to use other companies, competition is a good thing. Again not sure that will happen.

That being said as it was mentioned above, some problems are self inflicted and or people don't take time to learn and understand the systems in their camper.

Agreed that the components manufactures are partly to blame but the fault ultimately falls directly onto the RV manufacture for choosing to use crappy cheap components. But the real problem is the lack of quality control in the RV industry. They discovered that we would still buy Covid built crap which increased their profit margin so why change? MHO.
