After reading this whole thread, a fee thoughts amd observations.
1) Any of us who rv know that the rv lifestyle is all about comprise. The point has been made and demonstrated that there are options out there. Ironically, the OP seems more caught up in the argument than being appreciative to those who took the time to research and find an option. Back to compromise, almost nothing will be perfect, having just attended a large rv show this weekend amd looking at a future upgrade, it's challenging to find the perfect rig. We all I bet had to compromise some feature. But there is another option, which leads to the next point...
2) Custom build. Mobile Suites recently finished their first travel trailer for a customer. All the benefits of a 5th wheel, to include storage, and built to the customers direct specs and appointments. Even so, there is still a compromise, cost amd weight. Final price was $215,000 and weight of just over 20,000 lbs. So agsin, there is an option, but with maybe the most major compromise.
3) Maybe there is an even more harsh reality. A more definitive compromise. Perhaps rving simply isn't in the cards for these folks due to cost. Perfect unit aside, we all know that even though on the surface it may seem affordable, rving full time is expensive. There are lots of things in life I would like to do, but at the end of the day there are many limiting factors. Yet another comprimise.
Perhaps the best lesson here this would teach us is have good financial planning in place directly towards your goals.
Oh yeah....and that life (like the rv industry) is a compromise.
And like the song say....You can't always get what you want.
