I have searched and can not find a rating system similar to Consumer Reports for RVs, is there one?
The best known ratings are by RV Consumer; you can find them on the Internet. We also tried to establish a rating system in the past, as has no less than J.D. Powers. We and Powers gave up, and with good reason. Rating things for which quality control varies widely, as it does with RVs, means there is no such thing as a typical example from any manufacturer. Thus, sample sizes have to be monstrous to provide valid reliable information. To the best of our knowledge, no one at present has sample sizes approaching those necessary to be of value to consumers. It is possible to get a very good one or a very bad RV from any manufacturer. What we have discovered, both from gathering data and from working on RVs almost daily, is learning how to examine potential purchases is far more important than wasting time seeking to learn the name of the “best manufacturers”.
