Your Christmas Wish List to RV Manufacturers...

What features do you wish to see RV manufacturers include in their new products?

My wish:
-longer lasting roofs
-handles to black water/grey water valves that can be reached without knowing yoga
-plumbing/electrical conduits that don't take up floor space (admittedly, our rig is 15 years old so that may have changed).

Wife's wish list:
-full length closets for dresses, coats, brooms
-adjustable bed
-cameras that can be swiveled for views of the sides (for badly angled intersections) in addition to the rear camera
  • Useful service literature, like wiring and plumbing diagrams with wire/pipe routing information and the locations of access panels for same. Admittedly, some manufacturers are far better in this than others.

    In a dream world, I'd like RV body (and window sealing) technology to catch up with automotive technology of the past several decades. How many cars or cargo vans have roofs that leak where they join with the sides, even if they receive no maintenance or caulking there ever? How frequently do class C windshields leak in comparison to class C front cabover windows...and why can Ford et al do what RV builders seemingly cannot?
  • Replace the 751 key with something meaningful.

    More outside storage.

    Pre-installed solar system - if only just to maintain batteries.

    Quality Control. :)


    Quality Control - starting on the drawing board.

    and insulation on all the fresh water lines.

  • Real Quality Control before the rig leaves the factory.

    Tires that won't grenade on you after a few months.
