DiploStrat, you might want to note where RobertRyan is from. I think he knows something about what's going on in Australia. ;). Btw, I disagree that some of the items you mentioned are innovations. At least, most of us have no need for them. Our RVs work pretty well.
You kind of lost me on this one; I am very aware of where RobertRyan is from. I have followed Australian 4x4 issues for decades. FWIW, was there just last year (lamenting that I did not have my Tiger) to attend Beloved Spouse's High School reunion. (My previous visit involved an overnight at King's Cross at way too young an age. ;) )
My point is that Australian expedition RV's, like the beautiful Earth Cruiser that parked next to us at OEXPO East, and with whom we shared many a bottle of wine and tall tale, already incorporate many of the items on many American RV's wish lists.
Being a rather patriotic soul, my biggest complaint about my rig is that fact that so many of it's systems are imported as there are simply no US made products with comparable capabilities. Probably because, as you noted, so many US RV owners are satisfied with what they have. This may be one reason that many foreign RV's have better systems; US owners aren't demanding better.
