   Be sure to get Matt Foxcroft to check it out for a Prime Pooping Position and Wil to see if the shower passes the Big Boy test for your prototype RV.😊

   The problem with adding everything you wa t comes down to cost. You likely will not be able to afford it. I would like to see RVs with cat box area, something were the cat goes in the basement to use the box and you open and clean from the outside.

   A flipped axel would be awesome! It would help with ground clearance

   If you don't put a second bathroom with a tub for kids I'll pass out. Haha. It was so hard for us to find the perfect rig for our family to live in full time because our son was 3 when we moved in and NEEDS his bath time. Haha. It's his favorite part of bedtime. Luckily we did find a 2020 Forest River Sierra that has 2bd and 2 full bathrooms, but after living in it there's definitely things we wish we could change so I'm always looking for our future upgrade. Haha.

    No more crank up antennas. On our last two rv’s we have installed a 360 degree antenna. No more cranking up and trying to find the signal. We lost an antenna because we forgot to crank it down. Also the electric cord and water hose on reels. A 50 amp electric cord is heavy.

    This might have to be invented…. But I would want mobile toilet that sits on wheels, and can be moved around, but has a home docking station when flushing or housing. Similar concept to robot vacuum docking station. The docking station could be designed to be in a cupboard or out in the open depending on users or builders preferences.

    The mobile toilet would need the option to move or lock into place while using. And height adjustment options would be nice.

    A mobile toilet would solve so many bathroom issues and create new possibilities with how you use your bathroom. Different body width, lengths and height needs… no problem. Can't reach your tp, phone, makeup, or root beer float… no problem. Need a seat in front of the sink and mirror to get ready for the day or for little kids to use as a stool to wash hands…. no problem.

    Plus you gain floor space and vertical storage space where the the non moveable toilet would have had its permanent residence.

    I'm thinking the docking station should be under the sink. If designed correctly the sink plumbing could help flush the toilet. And you would save water by first using the water to wash your hands then that same water could flush the toilet. RV toilets don't take much water to flush so that should be a realistic option. But some times you need the sink while still sitting on the toilet, or use the sink but not the toilet, so adding a smallish greywater tank under the sink for short term greywater storage that could later be used to flush the toilet would solve that problem.

    But I think that small greywater tank should be removable and made so the user can access inside the tank for cleaning, clogs or lost items down the drain or whatnot.

    Get a fat person to design a camper…PLEASE! Who puts a toilet right next to a sink? Doesn't anyone wipe? Corner showers? Have you tried bending over in one of them skinny or fat to wash your feet? Impossible! Can you change in a dinky bathroom? Nope. Yes, I like a big bathroom and nice sized tanks. We spend most of our time in State parks where water and dumps are not with the site. Bigger tanks means a longer stay. Thanks for your video!

    We laughed so hard that Nathan was riding around in Corey's trailer while he was moving, and then heard a voice from the bathroom. Leila sounds so much like her mom, we thought that was Jessie.

    Hopefully you do somewhat the same bathroom as changing lanes. Its a great use of wasted hallway space. Only thing I didn't like was the door on the water closet. Reminded me of our old style camper with no room in there. Cant wait to see what you do with the kids room. We have a cougar with the 4 rear bunks. Always thinking of what we will do once they get bigger.

    Put a metal grid on the wall to allow baskets or other hangings of choice. Put a strip on the outside that will allow magnetic attachments or similar way to use the side of an rv

    Cant wait to see the final build and what comes of it, our next rig will probably be a Grand Design!! As full timers, we need something stable and heavy duty so hope they make some adjustments! Been doing this since 2012 and on our 3rd one which is a Jayco 😅 Great stuff, keep up the awesome work!!

    I would love to see a proper automotive style wiring loom thru out (not just in visible areas). Always imagined a 120v loom and a 12v loom neatly running the length of the rig. Terminating orderly at the service panel. ( if you’ve ever look behind the service panel…Yikes! You’ll know what I mean.

    Any chance of heated floors? Quiet heat is one thing I would miss going from our Class A to a 5er!

    It would be extraordinary to have the steps in a fifth wheel designed with more architectural appeal and function in mind. I’ve only seen it once in a renovated fifth wheel. the steps were to totally hidden by the hall and curved toward the kitchen/living room area. It would be easy to design these with storage drawers or the top of the stairs acting as a hinged lid for storage.

    I won't be in the market for this one (have a motorhome). But for the love of Pete, I hope Marissa can get manufacturers to offer decent organization options when it comes to shelving in cabinets! More important than colors and patterns. So much wasted inches of space in rvs when there's no adjustable shelving and spend so much time, effort and $$ looking for the perfect organization bins.

    It sounds like when the first college was built in America they left the walkway unconstructed for the first year and then they followed the walkway paths that the people had walked down and built the walkway where people walked down from building to building. Your family would be the perfect choice to build the perfect RV because you’re family uses it everyday.

    We have a 390rkr. We are contemplating a triple axle conversion. We are at or over loaded with little to few items loaded. Please, please, please, please have Grand Design install triple axles or 8k standard or 9k optional axles from the factory. Our rig needs $10,000 of upgrades just so we can take more than a suitcase worth of clothes. And yes, we have been across the cat scales to prove it. Please, please, please, please, please! With sugar on top!

    Most people just paint their cabinets white, ya'll are designing a whole new RV. I feel so inferior right now.

    Remember that not everyone is 6' tall! Cabinets and shelves are usually unreasonably high. same for the microwave.Toilet should not be crammed in a corner. Switches or valves for tanks need to be where they can be easily reached without bending in half.

    😂😂 I kept hoping you’d go back to an Airstream & be more mobile! You need a park model for your home base! Keep the Viva!
