Just a few things to stir the pot.
Why don't they just make everything with LED from the factory all around the RV??? Inside and outside?...WTH?? Antiquated building tech and the old school of RV building needs to bow out...get in the ...

First, regarding LED lighting. I definitely agree that is a necessity. I would not buy a new RV without it. Non-LED lighting is a sure sign that the manufacturer is cutting corners and not up to date. Skip that vendor.
Next, I have no idea how an airplane can insulate against the extreme cold. I can see why my RV is not as well insulated. The walls are very thin and light. Open cavities are 3/4 inch thick with 3/4 inch foam insulation. Other areas have no insulation and are merely 3/4 x 3 inch slats with exterior or interior panels.
As to the size of RVs, well that is a personal choice. There is no doubt that most RVs are designed for people who want the appearance and convenience of home while traveling. I opted for something much smaller, lighter and better for extensive travel. I have a Northstar Igloo. It has no slides. It is even less than 8 feet wide. I have a wet bath without a sink. One of the few non essential luxuries is a microwave which I use for storage.
