Gdetraler,
Supercharger made a strong statement stating,"No one needs 4X4 anyways."
You said, "Dealer lots are full of 4x4s for a reason and it is not because "everyone" wants one, it is because the dealer makes a much, much larger PROFIT MARKUP on the 4x4."
This is also a strong opinion which 7 pages of opinion has refuted. I don't personally care what type of vehicle anyone drives.
The point I was trying to make was in your neck of the woods, 100% of the higher end RV's sold has A/C because people demand it like many of the areas of the states and Canada who demand 4X4 trucks. And selling a rig without A/C or 4X4 is less appealing when reselling.
I have a barebones Ford XLT 4X4 truck without the $20,000 added on electronics package where the dealers really make their money. I am happy with what I have but 4X4, it is not an option, it is a requirement.
