Wonder why RV quality seems to be slipping?

Not only in USA/NA companies, we will likely never know who exactly made the decision in VW to cheat on the USA diesel EPA test, had to be someone very high up in Germany. VW still suffers from this venture after recovery from being almost permanently flat-lined. I personnaly turned away from VW after 40 years of owning varies Volwagen vehicles.

Ford Transit is on sale in Australia, but you are lucky to see any. Class B's on them no.

Well as it turns out, VW was the first to be caught out cheating. A vast number of other manufacturers have since.. As far as affecting VW, not much of an impact VW CORPORATION, not VW cars is Globally the 2nd biggest Auto Company behind Toyota.. Their VW Crrarter's and other models are surprisingly popular in Australia

One thing I need to add and has come up in other discussions. Class B's by Jayco and Winnebago in Australia, have no connection to the similar named companies in the US. Jayco Australia is owned gy Gerry Ryan, not affiliated with Jayco Ind in the US. Winnebago in Australia has a more convulted history. No US Winnebago Motorhomes have been built or imported into Australia
