Great topic.
I see more composites being used in the future. As more players get in to the raw materials game, the price of composites is coming down; Long fiber TPC's, Graphene, etc will all be more widely available at reduced costs.
As a result RV's will be lighter, more weather resistant.
As there is also a trend in down sizing, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more non-slide TC's. I think Folks are trying to simplify more, and the latest gen of TC's is getting huge/complicated!
(That's just my guess...)
I think we'll see solar being used more-probably become standard on many campers. And maybe even power cells (hydrogen?).
Maybe a return to truck/TC packages (the "new" Ford TC recently announced!). This could catch on w/consumers. Really reduces the learning curve of setting up a TC and offers one stop shopping for the Customer! It worked in the 60's-could work again!
That's my daydream for today.
