Not for DRVs specifically, but owning several boats and now a RV, I have come to a conclusion about stuff that is added to these units.

1. the fewer holes in the roof and sides the better. Anytime you put a hole in the roof or side wall, it becomes a potential source of leaking. The more holes, the more potential leaks, and the more potential the installers do not seal something correctly. So things like vents, skylights, speakers and TVs in the side walls, and the like - if they are build options, are better left off.

2. Anything is prone to breaking on a RV (or boat). If you are not breaking things, you are not using the RV. The more gadgets and stuff you put into it, the more chance you have of breaking something and having to fix it. If things like power steps, additional TVs, etc. are available as options, then I would not order them.

You will have a more spartan coach, but a more reliable one. Of course, you could add some of this stuff later (and probably do a better job at installing it), but when it comes down to it, you are just in a glorified tent.
