5 things you love most and 5 things you love the least.

What are the 5 things you love the most about your RV and the 5 things you love the least? I'm sure everyone will want to list travel with their loved ones as something they enjoy the most, but I'm really interested in your RV at the moment. But go ahead and add what you love about the lifestyle if you wish as a 6th item.

For me, the 5 things I love about my RV are:
  1. The ride down the highway when moving from one stop to another. My coach drives very smooth and quiet.
  2. Bath and a half and bunk beds. I've got kids and both make life wonderful.
  3. Washer, dryer and dishwasher. I know they are luxuries, but living full-time in the MH makes these items oh so appreciated.
  4. My bed. I've always slept like a baby in my MH and this one is no exception. Love the sleep number bed.
  5. All electric coach. I used to run out of propane a lot with my last coach. I'm glad I no longer need it.

The 5 things I love the least are:
  1. The awnings. I used to love my simple pull out and stake down awnings. My new awnings are ever more sophisticated but they are so sensitive and fragile that any decent breeze sends them back in. I rarely use them now.
  2. The lack of storage. It's hard to believe that my 45 foot MH has less basement storage than my old 31 footer, but the Dometic freezer / fridge, Oasis hot water, wide screen TV, 16 batteries, 200 gallon fuel tank, huge waste tanks, tag axle and engine take up all the extra outside space and then some.
  3. The weight of this new coach. I'm 49,000 pounds plus I tow a 6,200 pound Ford F-150. My 0 to 60 times are measured with a calendar and not a stop watch. I get that I'm driving a MH and not a sports car, but it would be nice to be able to get up to highway speeds before entering the highway.
  4. My length and height. I'm 45 feet long plus toad and 13' 4" tall. I can't camp in many public campgrounds and am restricted in many private campgrounds as well.
  5. The complexity of all the systems. This new coach has electric shades, back lit panel lights, two satellite dishes, etc. They are all wonderful, but prone to failure and a bit complicated.
