@Veebyes : just curious how does your RV compares to the trawler ?
We use mostly Beneteau and Bavaria yachts (as we are their dealer) and even there quality is lacking (just last year we took delivery of new yacht that was actually leaking :-) )
Interior space foot for LOA foot. By nature of the hull a boat is curves to be worked around. With slides extended a RV has much more open space. inside foot for foot to the boat.
Looking at the Beneteau 38 layout, it is extremely cramped compared to a 5er much shorter. My Albin 32 powerboat is much more spacious in the cabin with a centerline queen berth fwd, a proper shower stall & much more galley work area. Our 34 5er is massive compared to our boat. King bed, much larger shower, more than double again galley work area. The boat has 115gal FW, the 5er 100gal FW. Most 5ers only have around 60gal FW. Not much if you are dry camping.
