No more rubber roof. I do not mind the sound of the rain. I have not had good luck at all with any membrane roof for the long term. Give me a one piece aluminum roof, rubber over the slide outs as they do not have vents or the a/c unit.
Route all of the plumbing lines together within a conduit that could also house an electric 12V or 110V heat tape to prevent plumbing freeze ups for winter use without having to run the propane furnace. Low point drains could be incorporated to take the water away from faucets above. Being able to leave for a day or two and not having to winterize to protect plumbing or being able to use electric heat when on campground electricity without concern for freezing plumbing would be a plus for cold weather use.
Less tacky design elements.
