OK, I'll play.
One of the saddest things that I see in the US RV market is the fact that so many of the advanced RV systems are coming from Europe. For example:
-- Cassette toilets
-- Dual Pane windows
-- Advanced heat/AC units.
US RV manufacturers seem very content to continue using old systems like:
-- Generators
-- Black tanks
-- Single pane windows
-- Propane fuel (Although is more defensible)
The solar/electrical systems on most US RV's are much smaller that what they could be. I suspect that is because so many US RV owners go from campsite to campsite and expect:
-- Water
-- Power (and even cable TV)
-- Sewage
If you look at campers designed more more remote camping:
Tiger Adventure Vehicles
Earthroamer
GXV
You will note that many of their key systems are European imports. Sad.
