I think from a materials standpoint, there is a lot to be desired when it comes to the weight / finish quality. These do not have to be exclusive of each other and yet we are stuck with cheap products. One of my biggest annoyances is how the wood looking paper laminate over particle board scratches so easily and then there is nothing you can really do to fix it. Why not just go with painted surfaces in the first place? The wife and I have talked about repainting the interior of our camper, going to a nice stark white color scheme instead of the fake wood look.
LEDs I'm not that concerned about. Probably cheaper for you to buy a handful of replacement bulbs on Amazon rather than to allow the manufacturer to sell it to you as a "premium" upgrade.
Air Conditioning and Generators seem to be an area ripe for improvements. I posted another thread a few months back about wanting to ditch the generator entirely along with the AGM batteries. I could save ~300lbs just by going to LiFiPo batteries with no generator. The Air Conditioner also seems to be a very weak area. Why are they so dang big and stick up like a sore thumb ready to get caught on a tree branch? Can we not build a more space efficient AC in the 21st century?
