Propane furnaces with a special battery saving no-blower mode of operation - for use when not on hookups. When in this mode, they would operate much like the propane furnaces in motorhomes 40 years ago that were still vented to outside for safety but had no blower fans at all.

Black and grey tanks in RVs always having internal spray rinsers inside them.

All RV awings built with unfurl-eliminating mechanisms in them.

For an RV with a built-in generator to be RVIA certified, it's built-in generator must be installed by the manufacturer so as to have a noise reading no higher than 50 dB as measured 7 meters away.

All RV wheel wells to be steel lined so tire blowouts could do no damage to the coach.

No grey water or black water emptying outlets no lower than 14 inches above the ground.

All RVs with battery systems to come standard with a built-in multi-stage charger/converter.

All motorhomes to be built so as to have the engine battery(ies) always getting charged - along with the coach batteries - when on hookups.

All roof vents to always be installed with covers over the vents so the vents could be left open in high winds and in the rain.

All motorhomes to come with electric cab mirrors on both sides with enough angular movement so as to allow inspection of the upper and lower sidewall areas to the rear and to allow inspection all the way down to the rear tire areas while going down the road.

All RVs with outside 120V AC outlets on both sides of the motorhome.

All RVs to have the external water hose hookup inlet on a valving system that would also allow filling of the freshwater tank via this water hose inlet.

All motorhomes to have coach battery voltage and current flow indicators in the cab on the dash for monitoring of their charging status when underway.
