what is the dumbest thing about your camper?

[Rubiranch]

For me its that there is no light switch or and any light at all when you first enter the camper.

The closest light is on the ceiling a few steps inside the camper.

Kind of a pain in the dark for sure.

Yes, I've ordered a touch light to put next to the door.

Too bad someone from the manufacture doesn't actually spend a night or two in one of their own RVs.

In my TT the vent in the bathroom is over the sink so in cold weather the ice cold condensation from the vent drips on your back while you're brushing your teeth. 🙂

Also,

Has anyone yet figured out why the outdoor switch on a Suburban water heater has to be hidden behind the gas plumbing? Do they not WANT you to find it?

Why is the ON position really the OFF position and why is the OFF position really the ON position?

Seems like someone is laughing at all of us from afar.....

Because they want you to buy replacement elements.....

Or,

Why is it that the coldest room in the TT has to be the bathroom? Some nights its 40 degrees in there and my tail end is froze to the seat.

Or...

How about a GFCI circuit switch that runs all the outlets in the bathroom, and outdoor areas, but the GFCI is in the BUNKHOUSE.

I forget how many times I tripped that thing but couldn't remember where to reset it because it is in the BUNKHOUSE.

How about an outdoor kitchen closet with refrigerator that has no ventilation. So in the summer the very best your refrigerator can maintain is about 50 degrees F. The compressor is throwing off heat to try to cool its contents and that heat has NOWHERE to go.

Then at night, when things cool off, that same refrigerator freezes all your food.

Anybody up for a frozen hard boiled egg? Anyone?

Stupid.

Indoor sun glasses?

I apologize, it seemed obvious...and sounded funny at the time. I do get it, the issue that is. I put some D battery lights with adhesive, stuck to the bedside cabinets that run alongside the bed, both sides, at bed level so when laying down reading it's low and behind my head for great reading.

Good idea. I might have to do that. My thoughts were so focused on how am I going to move these stupid things.

Has anyone considered the weight? They seem to just get heavier as the years go by.

Our '79 Establishment MH had the 'trough'. Made jugging water easy, but dumb

24ft travel trailer with two slides. The bedroom door won´t open with the living room slide in.

A pocket door would have been better and I believe cheaper.

The fill port for the fresh water tank is right there for anyone to put whatever they like into it, and the vent is open to the wind. That probably lets lots of dust into the tank.

I added a locking door over it all.

Now I have never seen that. Had many rv's incl 3 campers. All had the standard locking door with the fill and vent openings behind the lockable door. Can't imagine a water tank vent open on the side of a camper.

Gosh I'm feeling pretty good about my Outfitter. If I had to buy another camper I'd buy exactly the same one. Issues? From time to time like every one but every inch of usable space has been made, well, usable. I've enjoyed reading these posts, what an eye opener!

Worse is the placement of the sink requiring the user to leave the door open so their knees don't have to be touching. (sit slightly rotated to the right away from the sink)

I'm on the bigger side, so I usually leave the door open and put my right foot on the step outside the bathroom. Unfortunately, my propane tanks are under the sink, so it kind of needs to be that way.
