It's hard to find a good worker with any type of pride these days. It is not being taught very much.

When I think back to my days in the computer manufacturing and service industry and the hours of training I had to go through with the 6 Sigma quality model, I just shake my head. It made a real difference in reducing the defect count and the cost of manufacturing and service. But then again the computer company I worked for (25 years) was an international corporation, huge in size and scope compared to the individual RV manufactures and related companies like Lippert. Of course this quality model is way too expensive to implement in the RV industry. I am sure they would deem it not necessary, they are doing fine without it.. After all we are still buying their product,,,,I am guilty,, I just bought a new RV.
I'll just take what I have and make it what it should have been in the first place.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

Steve, I think you summed it up perfectly in your last sentence. That sentence has given me a bit of an epiphany. Take something that's got "the best bones you can find" - and I realize that that bar may be quite low in the RV industry - and learn to basically build/repair it yourself from the ground up. That has proven to be highly successful in the boat world.
