They should also only let female interior designers design storage spaces and the kitchen.
The majority of kitchens have almost zero counter surface area for working on and leaving appliances out. Even on expensive units. Why can't they put a 2nd shelf inside cabinets? Why is there no place to put a garbage container of any size anywhere near the kitchen?? We end up having a plastic garbage bag hanging off a knob on the stove. Grrrr.
General storage space gets little attention. Men don't seem to think about how and where you would actually place things in an RV. Why do they put blank plywood panels on cabinets when there is perfectly use-able space behind? Why don't they put another shelf inside cabinets? Where do they expect you to put your shoes near the entry door? Shoes end up all over the floor (grrr, says DW). We have an upper cabinet in our bathroom about 30" deep. There's no shelf in it and when you put a few towels in it, you CANNOT see or reach anything at the back. (Another grrrr...)
As an engineer, I have trouble falling asleep in our TT because all I can think about is all the dumb things manufacturers do and all the mods and upgrades I *need* to do to improve things. Like, why don't they install switches throughout for all lights and fans? Why don't they put in drawers on slides in the little lower cubby spaces either side the bed? Why don't they put shelves in cabinets (see above)? Why is the rear bumper so small that a sewer hose barely fits in? Why don't they install blackout blinds on bedroom windows? Why do they place the water inlet fitting so that it is right behind the spare tire? Why is the TV co-ax outlet and amplifier switch on the ceiling behind the TV so that it can barely be reached? I could go on for another page or two.... :M (I really think a TT manufacturer should hire me, lol.)
