It is taking time but America, particularly the US part of N America is learning what the Europeans have known all along. Bigger is not necessarily better. The days of the rolling McMansions may be numbered. You don't need to have enough open floor space in the middle to have a square dance.
But what about the bowling alley and swimming pool? Can you possibly live for a weekend without those (especially if it's a three-day weekend)?
One factor that does seem to periodically affect the sales and overall popularity of behemoth RVs is fuel prices. When gas hits $4 a gallon (as it has before and will again), getting 5 gallons to the mile no longer seems as tolerable. That may be an additional reason why you don't see them in Europe, as gas is over $8 a gallon there.
