I have a funny feeling I forgot more about software then you know. If you truly understood technology you would also understand that it is technological possible to digital mimic an analog lens.
But feel free to keep trying to be condescending. That is always so attractive and impressive.

First attempt at posting pics and just downloaded the program ICE to see what happens. Took under 10 minutes to download program and make a panoramic view. If it doesn't work, I'll go into hiding for a day or two from embarrassment.

AutoStitch will do that, though it really doesn't give the fisheye effect.

But feel free to keep trying to be condescending. That is always so attractive and impressive. Not meaning to be condescending at all. My point is that the impression of greater space in a photo is not just one of manipulating perspective, which is something software can do, but involves getting more of the subject into the frame. If you could stand back far enough from your RV interior you could do that with a standard lens but that is not physically possible. Ultra-short focal length glass is the only way to accomplish that in a single frame.
Chris's suggestion of using stitching software to combine multiple images could be at least a partial solution. There is software that allows stitching in two dimensions to create spherical images but I have never played with it. Stitching spherical images successfully requires more than casual camera work. The camera needs to be mounted so that the lens pivots around its optical nodal point and that requires special mounts such as the Nodal Ninja. Accepting your superior knowledge you probably know all of that but given that you have forgotten more than I know perhaps this is one of those things.

Here's a stitched photo that shows the bedroom in my Prowler. It wasn't possible to get all this in one shot on my camera. I used the Canon Photostitch that came with my printer.

Some cameras will stitch two pictures together giving a very wide view. The Nikon is not a true 18 x 55.

You can use software to anamorphically distort an image for a fisheye look.
You can use software to stitch together an array of images to create an image with a wider view.
You cannot use software to make a single image cover a wider view than what the camera and lens can capture. If something is not in the original image, it won't be in a derivative image, unless you get if from yet another image and put it there.
The wide angle stuff you are seeing is from cameras using wide angle lenses. Most low cost cameras, even "superzooms" are limited in coverage angle because it is a whole lot more expensive to make a lens cover a wide field of view than it is to cover a narrow field.
