Install a vapor barrier right under the warm side of exterior walls, just like 99% of northern stick homes have, required by code. Most campers are damaged by condensation, not leaks. The damage often looks the same and quite a number of people have expressed dismay over what they assume are rain leaks.
Offer an air spring option on campers. Then I could adapt it to mine.
Then I could temporarily "air up" my suspension, and get out of my own driveway without a set of ramps like those that just took me several hours to build. But I could also get into remote "cowtrail" areas with the same variable suspension height too. And yet I could lower my camper way down on interstates for a slightly lower wind profile. Ideally the camper would sit on, or nearly on, the ground when camped. Get rid of those heavy steps. Win, win, win.

Really wrote: Yes, this. I really wish that we could more often choose cabinetry colors and have a wider assortment of choices for the upholstery. Don't even get me started on the bedding, but at least that's easy to replace.
The trailers I see from Europe and Australia don't have this problem, many of them look great.
US Travel Trailers without going into all that is wrong with them, really look dark and univiting as far as Interiors go. Several Companies have imported fairly inexpensive Motorhomes i.e Coachmen Class A's with Triton V10. These do not hold their value even compared to the Isuzu based Class C's , which is surprising. They run the Triton's on LPG, giving running costs simlar to a SUV.
Something like this Sunliner Motorhome Interior. This is at least nice ,bright and clean looking. They are actually very well built Motorhomes as well.

"Bright and clean looking", yes. But also UGLY, modern / futuristic, sterile, not inviting at all, coupled with impossible to keep clean.

IMHO, of course.....
Problem is traditional US Interiors are a big no no here, do not sell at all. That is why the original importers of Coachmen Motorhomes Class C and Class A, changed everything. They got rid of the Class C as it did not sell at all(E350 chassis , general driving dynamics, interior decor or lack of it) The Class A was OK as a chassis, interior was awful, so they created Aquarius Motorhomes to try and overcome those failings.

Just shows the diversity of culture in preferences for decor. The roads in other countries are different as well. Robert, can you post some links to the Aquarius and other RVs in your country?

Wes--I really like the idea of the air suspension. I haven't got around to building a "ramp", but my drag wheels get quite a workout everytime I pull out of my shop.
