Europeans were forced to build like that due to high gas prices, narrow roads, small tow vehicles, etc, etc, etc. We build them big and heavy because we have big roads, long distances, huge tow vehicles and apparently enough wealth to not give a sh*t about the now high gas prices. That and we're a whole lot fatter than they are. The oems build what sells where they are located.
Basically the differences are in cost. The US is much more cost conscious than the Europeans, so the Travel Trailers look more basic but bigger or a lot bigger.If the Fuel Prices were to hit their levels, I think your RV's would be even smaller and more basic then theirs.
Distances towing in Europe varies usually a lot shorter but you do get people towing 1500 miles going from Northern Europe to Southern Europe.
