We have what we have for 2 main reasons. 1. It checks off most of the boxes on our 40 years of experience list. 2. It was within our chosen budget.

I still can't believe how the shear volume RV's are built and sold every year with such a huge variety of styles, floorplans, and price ranges. Yet most of us manage to find something that grabs or attention for a variety of reasons.

We don't like travel trailers, yet a huge number of them are sold and enjoyed
We don't like a front living/mid-kitchen floorplan, yet many like them alot
We don't like a plan without a bed in the slide with a larger closet, others feel differently
On and on...

Yep, OEM's are always trying to put a new spin on floorplan ideas...some stick, some don't. Some gain a following but not large enough to warrant the cost of continued manufacturing. These guys are all in business to make money. So bread and butter floorplans mixed with constant imaginative tweaking will often find the small percentage of market share gain they are looking for.

I applaud the effort, but will still only give them my money for something that works for us. If it doesn't sell...they'll move on

And...Merry Christmas, everyone!
