Customizing new RVs?
Hi folks So I've been doing tons of online research (but still haven't set foot in a RV since 1970-something). Right now I think we're leaning more toward Class B. It will be cramped, but it's just...

We didn't want to get anything we'd need to tow, we both drive small SUVs and don't really need a big truck for anything else... it would be a waste to buy one just to tow a camper 2-3 times a year. So we thought it would be better to have a small motorhome to go camping in and for me to use for my side biz for some of the more expensive conventions (hotels nearby charge $100 a night normally, and $400 a night during the convention... buncha crooks).
We definitely need a permanent bathroom though. I was looking at roadtreks at first and they seemed kinda weird, like there's a little toilet in a closet and you gotta be standing in the hallway to use it? that's not gonna work for us :) I like the layouts on some that I've seen that have the 4 captain's chairs up front. we just felt like that 2nd row of them would never be used and not having them would free up lots of usable space. I wouldn't mind having a little fold down desk behind the driver's seat, so I can spin around and get some work done. There's an Airstream that has that, but the pics I've seen the desk looks super tiny. Another thing that bugs me is having a sink in the B bathrooms, they look so tiny yet they seem to all take up valuable shower elbow room.. why not just leave em out and let people watch their hands in the kitchen sink?
We'll look at the smaller A's and C's too, not ruling them out. I do really like the Thor Axis and Vegas that I just found last night, the 25 foot version with the living room / bedroom in the back seemed pretty cool. And I like the floor plan for the winnebago brave 31 foot too. Those seem to be one of the only new RVs we could afford that would let us can watch TV comfortably, instead of all the others that hide the tv off in the corner somewhere. We want our TV right in front of the sofa :)
I like the sound of a 4x4 motorhome too :) Just what I need to survive the zombie apocalypse. I did see some of them before but it looked like they were all expensive custom jobs.
