All my life, RV products have been around me. As a kid on the long road, there were several things I couldn't quite understand. Some remain today:
- An oven. I understand the stove-top; but an oven? Who 'gets away from it all' and bakes a turkey?
- Heavy use of cardboard for non-weight-bearing walls. Are they still doing this on current models?
- Particle board floors. In a NEW trailer at the Chicago RV show a few years back, I stepped into the thing and heard a CRACK with every step. I weigh 225. Still, they wanted $18,000 for it.
- Buying alternatives are ridiculously costly.
These are the reasons I started with a 'hull' from Wells Cargo and built it in from scratch. Anyone else doing that here?
One thing I DO MISS are those silly gas-powered lights that used to come in older trailers. Sure, a bother to use, hard to light, but it has an antique quality, don'tcha think?
