I assume that most first-time RV shoppers have the same complaints:
Why are the paint jobs so ugly; I have seen numerous posts and comments from veterans and industry members that complain about the hideous aesthetics as well.
Given the numerous drawbacks of slideouts, why is there only ONE Class A or Class C+ that has a floor plan w/o them? I appreciate that most buyers want them--but only ONE model?! I would resign myself to an ugly paint job, but won't buy one w/ a slideout under any circumstances--and don't really want the gas Coachmen that comes w/o.
When I was a child, we had a 1980 Bluebird motorhome w/ an attractive paintjob and no slides--if there was a contemporary comparable model, I would purchase--well if it was diesel and was $200K or less.
Captains chairs behind the driver would be ideal--but I know this will never happen.
If the Leisure Travel Van Serentity was 30-35 feet--this would be ideal.
Do any of the manufacturers offer any floor plan customization? My research hasn't turned any up. A Class or Super C.
