I suppose the only way to get what you want without all the gadgets and white goods is to have a RV custom built to what you need as opposed to what the manufacturer thinks you need.
A Lot of you guys have had RV's for years so i understand your pain but coming from a person that rented their first RV last year and looking at the new models available the white goods and the Tv's etc look so appealing, home from home so to speak.
To us even the 35' Class c we hired seemed to have more space than we could fill (ok we where on holiday) but then I started to look at the space available and thought what the hell would you put in there its tiny and you could not take this and that as there is no room.
