I like the idea of a outside kitchen, with a small electric refrigerator too! That is the huge new addition added to several RV's since I went shopping last time.
Another huge feature on some toyhaulers is a patio. Now it is easy to convert the rear ramp, and on one Cyclone model there is a sidewall that opens into a side patio that is about 9' square.
They keep making the slide outs larger and even the across the hall slides are so large they would nearly touch each other when put back in.
Yet there are some manufactures who still do not get it. You should be able to travel with the trailer, stop someplace for food, and be able to put it away in the refrigerator without opening the slides. Or stop and make a sandwich. .
What about solar systems? With the cost going down to nearly $1 per rated watt, a 100 watt solar system should become standard on all RV's! That would just make up for what the CO and propane monitors consume each day, but still would go a long ways to making camping much more enjoyable.
What about the poor quality tires? How can consumers expect to trust a manufacture that installed the lowest quality tires it can find on what the manufacture describes as a "Well Built RV"?
Trailer brakes could also use some improvement. Disk brakes are much more powerful, and should be used in the units with 5,000 pound axles or higher.
Good luck shopping for another unit! You might just keep thinking that the one you have is working pretty good right now.. . That is what I discovered in a FMCA motorhome show back in 2004.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
