FT Worth RV Show

I am very curious about what features fellow Travel Trailer enthusiasts think would make the best travel trailer. I have brainstormed this issue with other RV owners in the past and I will tell you what my thoughts are. However I would love to hear yours.

In one of my last posts, I talked about how quality has been dropping for a long time (click here to read that post). My feeling has always been that buyers would gladly spend more money on a quality product. So what type of improvements would make a better travel trailer? Here is my list:

A Spray on Roof, like RV FlexArmor.

Frame-less windows.

All PEX hot and cold water lines with brass fittings.

Higher end plumbing fixtures (Kohler, Moen, Delta, etc.). Typical RV faucets are pretty terrible from a quality standpoint (as are the sinks).

Have Grey and Black tanks that are designed with straight shots to the dump valves. In addition, It would be great if the tanks were designed with a greater pitch so that everything would drain.

Build the Travel Trailer with suspensions that are oversized, so they don’t fail. Often times the springs and axles barely meet the gross vehicle weight of the unit. I would like to see the travel trailers over-engineered for their weight specifications.

Disk Brakes and Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Top of the line tires.

Azdel construction on walls and floors to prevent delamination.

A return to manual strong awnings. They were so much better than the horrible awnings of today.

Hardwired Electrical Management Systems (EMS Surge Protection) for RV protection against all adverse power conditions.

Higher end furniture – non-pleather (Imitation Leather).

All AC units with RV Airflow modification for quieter and more efficient operation.

These are my thoughts, however, I would love to know what you think would make a better travel trailer.
