Class A design suggestions

[MagillaGorilla]

Here are a few suggestions I have for Class A RV manufacturers:

1: Put an exit door in the bathroom. It gives me a second emergency exit and it keeps people from tracking up my RV when they use my bathroom.

2: Put the TV where it can be comfortably viewed from most of the seats in the living room area. Most of the time it is not set up in a location that can be comfortably viewed by more than 1 or 2 people.

3: How about some bigger windows on the camping/passenger side of the RV? That is the side that you are more likely to keep the shades open on. Let some light in!!

4: Please no rugs. Give me tile or a high quality vinyl. If I want a rug I can buy a throw rug and throw it away after it gets stained within 24 hours of then I bought it.


5: Bigger windows in the bedroom. I like fresh air and most bedrooms have 2 tiny windows that do nothing.

6: Windows that actually open!! New RVs have the tilt out style windows. I like that you can open them in the rain but they dont let in much of a breeze. I like lots of fresh air. I live in a city so when I get to RV I want the fresh air coming in.

7: I dont want my fresh water inlet in the same storage bin as my black water drain. Seems like common sense.

8: Keep all of my water connections in a different bin than my power chord. Again, more common sense.

As someone with some spacial design experience, I can tell you that all your wants are possible and have been done. The problem is that given the tight often multi-function space requirements of most RV's, compromises must be made in favor of creating the most highly demanded features within cost parameters and space availability.

If you are the only potential customer out of say, . . . . . 1,000 who wants an exit door in your bathroom, you are probably going to have to special order that. You'll also give up some multi-function space in the process. If that's OK with you, no problem. Think of how many would pass on the RV because they DIDN'T want that option. The RV manufacturers do.

Link to Newmar's bathroom emergency door with ladder. Great idea IMHO.

Except for exit door in bathroom and the wide opening windows, my Class A has everything else you mentioned. most of those things were important to me, especially 2 through 5 as I plan to full time soon. So I only considered Rv's that met 3, 4 and 5. Yes it limited what was available, so I took my time to get what I wanted. FR Georgetown 378Ts.

I do have a blank wall in my bathroom. My last RV did too.

Who are these 'people' using your bathroom? Power chords are more the province of the Who.

I saw ONE RV at a show that had a door to a dry half bath, toilet and basin only

Never saw one in a campground,

They do make RVs with a second exit door, usually in the master bedroom, it is not connected to the bath, only seen them on no slide, or single slide bedrooms, and you give up window space, to have the safety exit door

You can always custom order and get most any thing you want. Just money!
