    Who's REALLY Building Your RV?

    Who actually builds your RV? Usually not the brand on the badge. David pulls back the curtain on the supplier giants — Lippert, Patrick Industries, Airxcel, Dexter, Dometic — that make most of what's in your rig, and why that setup turns every warranty problem into the industry's favorite game of "not it."

    RV Recalls: The "Oops" You Get in the Mail

    What actually triggers an RV recall, and what doesn't? David breaks down how RV recalls really work: who issues them (hint: it's rarely the brand on the badge), why one bad refrigerator or axle can hit twenty different brands at once, and why some serious defects never officially become recalls. Plus some of the biggest recalls in RV history and how to check whether your rig is affected. Real RV talk, no bull, never paid by a manufacturer. Got an RV recall story? Email hey@crappyrv.com.

    The History of the RV Industry: From Homemade Campers to the Big Four

    Ever walked through an RV dealership and wondered where all these brands actually come from? Grand Design, Jayco, Keystone, Coachmen, Forest River, Heartland, Airstream — it looks like fierce competition, but it's a lot like the cereal aisle: most of it traces back to just a few corporations. In this episode, David walks through more than a hundred years of RV history — from wooden campers bolted onto Model Ts, through the post-war boom, to how Elkhart, Indiana became the "RV Capital of the World," and how four companies ended up building most of the RVs sold in North America. Independent, unsponsored, owner-operated — never paid by a manufacturer. Good luck out there.
