I bet the quality of those RV's are a whole lot better than here, if those started to hit our shores we could see some America RV builders shut there doors to lack of sales, maybe this is what is needed to shake up the RV world..

I agree completely. Think the European RV's would do very well here. Lot's of ingenious features and attention to detail. Price wise might be a shock for Americans though. Americans still love the cheap, no matter how shoddy the RV really is. Winnebago has several models that look influenced by their overseas operations (mainly Australia I think). Those folks down there have alot of interesting ideas for RV's too.
The biggest thing, I think working against the European style RV is the use of cassette toilets. That would have to change. I have a Dry Flush toilet I use on my boat and in a small tag-along that works very well - it uses a bag system (search it on google). Otherwise a regular commode and 10 gal black tank would have to be fitted.
Correction AVIDA the new name for Australian Winnebago HAS and I will emphasis that NO CONNECTION to the US Company. They AVIDA will be bringing out models labelled "Winnebago" in 2015. With the disclaimer these are not associated with the US Company. You are correct in saying US Winnebago has been influenced by AVIDA models and also the German HYMER company.
"Winnebago " is a generic name for a large Motorhome in Australia , like Hoovering means vacuum cleaning in the US.
