That is a great suggestion, badsix!

scales at the wheels and tongue, so you could read weight any time.

A complete 1 piece molded body with no caulk sealant needed around the roof. A receiver hitch that can actually handle the weight of a bike rack. Gel coat caps that don't fade.....

I'd like to see ductless heatpump systems with interior units designed specifically for RV's and exterior units mounted under the trailer.

And I'm with Todd above, I'd like to see some small degree of quality.

+10 for mini-splits and quality.

They put 'em on my Coachmen. Waiting to see how well they work.

I want everything, including the space, that a upper market 40' 5er has in a 30'5er & I want it at the price of a basic 30'5er.

I've been looking at smaller (under 20ft) trailers for a while:

More layout options
Oven standard
Make "conveniences" optional - things like tvs, microwaves and other 120v items

I like the idea of the moonroof - a clipper owner took out his cabover escape hatch, expanded the opening and installed a truck nose cone over the cabover bed. Really opened things up!

30 ft Fiver with triple bunks, 150 gal water and grey tanks, good and quiet air conditioning units, good insulation, real dual pane windows, quiet genset, independent suspension, disc brakes, properly positioned tv's in the main area and bedroom, and a Telsa Powerwall for batteries.

I agree.

Nothing here that money won't fix.
You want it?
Be ready to pay for it or get a retrofit.

Lots of people want lots of stuff. Lots of stuff that costs lots of money. Anyone have a problem with paying extra for all of this quality stuff?

Quality tires that don't prematurely fail.

Agree, but this is the norm for pretty much all vehicles too. High end vehicles come with good tires, like our new SRaT comes with real PZero tires, but most every new vehicle comes with the cheapest tires the mfgs can slap on them.

And bearings that don't need any regular maintenance ... we've got 'em on our vehicles, why not on our trailers? :h

This^, although trailer bearing maint isn't a big deal, I can't think of a single light duty trailer type/mfg that comes with sealed unit bearings. Been on vehicles for what, 25 years now?

Quality tires, less sky lights due to possible future leaks, manufacturers concentrating more on a quality product and not just a pretty product and actual quality control before and after the sale.
