It struck me this morning how reliable most things in life are nowadays
Yet we still have a constant flow of issues with motorhome related kit.. ( and I should know LOL !!! )
With that in mind I started looking at other 'small industries' ..
But I would like to present both sides of a debate..
Pro the argument:
I came to the conclusion the poor reliability situation seems to cover all apsects of builds.
Of course, there is the following points to take in to consideration.
1) A motorhome is quite a large collection of all sorts of technologies why in this day and age do we suffer from inferior components ?
2) There seems to be certain builders who suffer more than others. Do they build to a price rather than to a level of quality and if so, why are their offerings so damned expensive ?
and the Anti argument
1) A motorhome IS a very eclectic collection of parts, failures seem to be pretty much across the board encompassing a great many aspects. It just a case of one or two items in each section ( so to speak ) giving grief and the over all picture is actually very good
2) If someone does not have a problem they are hardly likely to start a thread about not having an issue.
We only hear of the faults.. not the upsides.
And considering how many members there are on Fun ( for instance ) surely the reports of problems are in reality quite low in the over all scheme of things
What say you ?
