Someone should invent/solve this

Please post things you wish someone would invent to solve a problem.

My first is keeping the steps and entry area dry on my fifth wheel. The rear living area floor plan puts the entry door at the edge of the main awning. When it rains the steps and entry area are wet.

I am looking for some way to bridge the gap between the slide awning and the main awning to keep that area dry, yet be easy to remove when time to leave arrives.

A Switch to turn off your neighbors outside light.. Why the heck do you need a light on outside when your camping ? Let alone, ALL your outside lights?

I wish there were a type of "sandwich" wall construction that would not self destruct with a little water intrusion.

A comfortable chair that will slide on carpet when the rig is parked but not slide on carpet when it's moving.

little side drink holders with a pocket for a book beside the bed where you can reach them ....when sitting in bed reading at night there is no place to sit a water glass or to put your book when you want to go to sleep and with the king bed there isn't a place to fasten anything on the slide wall with a for sure mount so I am in the process of making some and will post them when I get them done ...

Slide out bars that are easier to install. Referring to the rear bar on the 31SS, but likely an issue on other models. If anyone has solved that I would like to hear about it.

A mount on the bedroom TV that allows the TV tilt down for viewing from the bed. Again, an issue on the greyhawk 31SS, but maybe on other models. With the standard arrangement viewing the TV from such a bottom-up angle makes for a distorted picture.

A sewer hose storage compartment that will actually fit a decent size sewer hose INCLUDING the straight end fittings. The one on my Greyhawk 31SS is good for marshmallow sticks but that's about all. Wonder what happened to incorporating hose storage in the rear bumper?

More a camper design feature wish but someone should design a compartment beside or even under the edge of the bed to hold a CPAP machine and be sure there is a 120v outlet near it.
