When we go camping, we spend 8 or more hours a day in bed, and only about two hours in the rest of the rig. Why don't manufacturers devote more floor space to the bedroom and bathroom? I could comfo...

When DW and I go camping, we don't do it to spend time inside the RV. We wake up, shower, eat and go outside. We don't go back inside (except for restroom trips) until it's time to go to bed.
That RW39FB above.....Are you kidding me???? 1 1/2 baths, over 1/3 of it devoted to where you spend less than 1/3 of your day sleeping, not moving. Only 2, maybe 3 seats have good screen viewing angles. Next to nothing in galley storage. Stove, microwave,fridge, entertainment center, desk (where you keep all your heavy files), 1/2 bath, tub, washer/dryer (Cupbaord full of stuff), all of this heavy stuff on one side. WHAT were the designers of this thing thinking? Go aroind a right bend a little too quick & this thing is going to be on its side. It is most likely 42'LOA. A monster.
As for TV viewing angles, who needs a TV? We can watch TV when we're at home in the S&B. For those times when the weather doesn't permit outdoor activity, the LR layout is ideal for having friends over, and the 1/2 bath keeps them out of MY bathroom. The kitchen certainly looks more useful than the one I currently suffer with.
I must admit, it does look like it's a bit heavy on the driver's side. It also looks to be about 42 feet long, which is 6 feet over what I'm hauling now.
