I have been tracking these (BLS.gov) data for some time with the conclusion that when manufacturing employment is high (> 70k) in Elkhart IN, average line tenure likely suffers and quality likely suffers with it. It makes sense that RVs built mid-late 2017, early 2018 and anything after February 2021 would see more quality issues. Pick when your Pod was made and see where levels were.


March 2022 is at an all-time high.


Interestingly, 2018 started a downturn in RV production with 2019 looking pretty bad as well. The pandemic really saved the RV industry from probably a longer-term downturn. 


The chart should be attached. ~PP
