I have said for many years that no engineer or designer should be allowed to sign off on anything for production, regardless of the product, until he/she has been directly and hands on involved in maintenance of said product for at least 5 years. A lot of things look good on CAD, but just don't work well or can't be maintained efficiently or at all in the field. This procedure could eliminate the need for so many special tools required for certain "good idea" product maintenance.
I have said that for years. As an Engineer, I spent 20+ years in the field before I started designing my products. Makes total sense. I get them right the first time.
Ir would be nice to be able to try a camper for a weekend before you buy. I may or may not have chosen mine, but as someone else said, they are always a compromise. I'd "like" the bathroom to be at the back of the trailer to make the hallway by the kitchen bigger, but then it would then be taken up by a dinette, and I couldn't have installed the big door on the rear to slide the 'yaks in.
On that comment about the fresh water fill being opposite the city hookup, I wish mine was that way, on the curb side. It would put it closer to the hose bib on my water softener in my garage.;)
