I mean RV,s in general have poor wiring ( workmanship not the wire itself ) . I have had many Rvs over the past 30 years and have never seen one wired like a pro did it.
Yes the river ranch full basement helps a lot , I have spent time in mine I'm doing a solar & battery upgrade now on it.
I have the 1 basement AC system and would say there is a reason they went back to a 3 roof air system. The basement air is undersized for this size RV if you live in the south. ( in my opinion) The front bedroom is always hotter. Also, the on-demand water heat is a pain. because every time you shut it off even for a sec. you have to wait for hot water to make it all the way back to you and you get a big slug of cold water. that is when it does not go beep beep beep which means it failed to lite because the water heater did not see the flow, etc
I have now stayed 1 full Pennsylvania winter in it . And it held up well. you still have to do the normal stuff like a heated water hose and cover your drain hose so it doesn't freeze .. but no issues inside. I will say you can feel the cold come through the windows pretty good so I was going to put seal plastic on them but never did.
