Agree, some upmarket US Motorhomes would not sell on decor alone.That has been a big problem for people trying to import them. This what people like here.
This is the Winnebago Menindee.


Inside of the Aquarius a little bit plain and therefore not much of a seller.

The Australian interiors remind me of the Airstream trailers we have here

"Bright and clean looking", yes. But also UGLY, modern / futuristic, sterile, not inviting at all, coupled with impossible to keep clean.
IMHO, of course.....
The first prob with it is that oval single sink. LOL That's not even getting into the gawd awful decor of those throw pillows. lol
x2 but guys talking about decor ohhhboy!! the refrig looks like it would hold plenty of fosters though...

Basically a lot of average Caravan interiors are like that i.e Eddie Bauer. Not really a big fan.

Another maker with the more metallic look

I like these Australian RVs. They look sharp and sleek.
I live in a house in the forest that looks like someone's hunting cabin- maybe that's why I don't want a trailer to look the same!

The Australian RV look is similar, but perhaps not quite the same as European. As a contrast, the European look has become popular in the USA in automotive circles. It is kind of refreshing. This is not my fathers Buick.

That look has influenced Airstream(although we and the Europeans have IMHO have done a much more subtle interpretation). I expect you are going to see more Motorhomes and Travel Trailers with the European influence.

Other features I'd like to see:
- Instead of having the bed in a slideout, have the wardrobe in a slideout. Slideouts around the bed can become drafty and cold in winter RVing.
- Thermal paned windows as standard.
- Yep and make a roof that is durable against age and leakage in even the low end models.
