I owned an RS Adventerous 2012. Found it problematical. In sufficient cooling with an ll,000 btu, without a thermostat for cooling. Only had 1500 miles on it. Took only one trip. Uncomfortable bed, small refrigerator. Microwave was on the floor, had to kneel down to check on food when cooking. Wound up trading it for a 2013 Winnebago View Profile 24G. Best move I ever made was trading it. Asked Roadtrek CEO for help, was unable to answer questions on a/c thermostat, nor size of a/c i.e. roof supportable weight, electrical connections. Advice was park it in the shade. Bed was a bench that made into a bed, not a bed that made into a bed. If you do decide to get one, get a used one, it won't cost you like it did me, I paid 122,000 for mine. Took a huge loss on it. Hope this helps.
The 11,000 btu air conditioner is pretty much the industry standard for Sprinters the size of the RS Adventurous. The AC is either running or not running and usually if it is that hot to need one it is going to run continuously and no thermostat is going to help. As for size, it is probably adequate for most of the nation most of the time. If you are from Florida I would think you should have investigated and been more cognizant of the situation.
As for the bed, when you spend over a hundred grand you are suppose to investigate those kind of things ahead of time. Even at that a lot of people modify their beds for comfort with modifications and foam toppers and that is true with most all Bs. Comfort is subjective in the bottom line. Some of us could sleep on a board.
Small refrigerator? At the time it was pretty standard for most all Bs. They are just now starting to install bigger ones.
Microwave on the floor? Duh! Didn't you figure that one out ahead of time? I did and it was one of the debit marks that eliminated Roadtrek from my consideration.
Winnebago View? Apples and oranges. Not a B.
Those are all comments you made that just highlight your own failings in the situation.
