There is just so much you can put in a 2 inch thick wall.
It's not how much that is put in the wall but rather the way it is put in the wall. From what I have observed over the years there appears to be both a shortage of time and effort put forth.
It is a proven fact, that people are not willing to pay for quality, they want cheap. So how much time and effort should go in? Especially when 99% will never see what is behind that wall.

One of my first projects after getting a new RV is to rewire the "rolling fire waiting to happen".
A bit over-dramatic. What's the percentage of trailers that ever have a fire?

I would agree. But they are built to met HUD regulations. Which is not saying much. Most are quiclky, and cheaply built. Out of sight out of mind. But I would hope the higher end units are a bit better. My aunt and uncle paid 500,000 for their A, and I would hate to think it was done the same way. Well it wouldn't bother me, but man it will kill my uncle. I try to keep a blind eye to the plumbing, since I have been doing it for 20 yrs. And the carpentry skills are lacking in most also.

You mean that those RVIA/RVDA certified and master Certified technicians wasted all their time becoming certified? Here is the code that they are suppose to be built to: RVIA Adopted Standards
