Things in your RV that make you say why?

[Ohiofinlander]

Seems like a less annoying water pump would be in the works by now.

[Siamese]

Why include mattresses that are shot after ten nights?

[gloryb]

Why they installed the dining table so close to the window that the shade is difficult to get up and down past it!

My rig has a pocket door going into the bedroom. It has always been a space saver because the br has another hall entry with a door.

×2 on the pocket doors. Even sliding doors are better than a swinging door in a rv! Takes up no space.

X2 on the mattress they must have ask the supplier to supply the worst one they ever built!I wonder if they cost 50 bucks!

After the first night in our 2018 last year, I could not sleep, went to the local Walmart and bought a 4" memory foam topper, still unhappy threw out the Jayco mattress and got a real one from Sams Club, that with the memory foam topper I sleep better in the RV than I do in my own bed at home.

I don’t like the opposing slides in my rear BR where the mattress gets scrunched up when the slides are closed. Also, why is the standard for tank capacity in thirds? It will stay at 1/3 for a long time (which makes you wonder if it’s working) but when it’s 2/3 full you better start to worry. If they used 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 you would have a little more wiggle room.

I wish there was a way to narrow that vent opening temporarily for times when you park off-camber and your precious water is spilling out all over the parking lot/roadside. I understand you can't completely cap the tank, but whys the vent hose have to be so huge?

Two things that bug me in our new Seneca is the TP holder in the rear bathroom....love it just jabbin me in the ribs while I’m sitting there . I just removed it and the roll sets on the counter just like the last 2 RV’s....never had one that was located good. The other is in the front bathroom, why would they mount the towel ring right above the electrical outlet what are yours?

One letter different there and the Mods would have gotten involved...
I would say just the wasted space between drawers etc.

I wish they would of put the thermostat at eye level.

I guess they don't do pocket doors since there are probably more people like me. I hate pocket and sliding doors.

Doors for propane tanks. This applies to every RV I have ever had. Why is the door so small you have to wiggle, tilt, shove to get the bottles in and out? Why can't they have a sliding platform like the batteries in my old MH? I know, too expensive

Everything in my current trailer was obviously done because it was cheap or quicker to install. Or, cause the installer was lazy and just tacked it wherever they wanted.

Why the towel rings? The towel need stretched out to dry...

My 2017 381 NP has a "Foot button" on the upper stairs to control the overhead lights?

Does Jayco want somebody fumbling around in the dark, on the stairs, to find a light switch, that turns on the overhead lights?


1) I'm already in the RV.

2) They do not turn on the bedroom overhead lights. (if your going upstairs).


Insert song - Oh those campfire stories.....

A Clapper will solve that problem.

You shouldn’t even see that. The dealer should mount it before you even get there.

[John from Central Florida]

How about this? The slide is completely sealed to the body, but by some wonderful engineering design this slide frame part sticks out!

[Out4Fun]

This is a puzzler and dangerous, but luckily we caught it in time. We noticed some paper underneath the burners of our Suburban stovetop on our new Melbourne 24K. We thought it just some label or something that had slipped down there. After probing to try an reach it, we knew it wasn't a simple piece of paper. We took the entire stovetop off and low and behold - the entire 20 page operating and instruction manual for stove was laying there. The whole thing thing could have burned easily. AND, as if that was all, the installation instructions for the shower curtain bar were there as well.

Not to be too critical, but are these units put together by touch at midnight? Who would ever let that happen??

The "pocket" door in my rig is not a true pocket door. It's a slider on the br/bath wall. It's usually out of the way unless we have company.

That’s how my Open Range is, and I love it. I’m seriously considering a mod
