The photo below was taken in at sunrise in Carribelle, Florida January 16, 2014. By the way, the neighbors were terrific. No generators (full hookup sites) and no boom boxes.
Here's the same location at sunset:

NC, I'm pulling your leg. I have a travel camper, too.
I've seen several references to Airstream and Argosy on this thread. As said above those brands are not without problems but they seem to just keep on ticking. I suspect the percentage of old Airstreams still on the road is relatively high compared to some brands.
If the OP ever gets the fever to travel in an RV maybe an Airstream (or some vintage kin like an Avion) will be suitable.
We've gotten a little off-track from the OP's comments about inferior quality of RVs and that's one thing I like about this forum. Threads can meander about and [-]nobody[/-] not many seem to mind...
Left! No Right! I mean STOP!
Just kidding.
Sure, if you are willing to pay for it. You can also get heated floors, gold fixtures and helicopter landing pads...BTW do new RV's come with backup cameras?
Old Airstreams, Argosies on the road -- true. Most campgrounds will let them in even though older than 10 years old.
Neither is really good for winter use. Aluminum is highly conductive, reject heat to the neighborhood really good. Insulation is minimal. I had the internal skin off my Argosy several places. Regardelss of insulation, the ribbing is also aluminum, makes for a really good thermal bridge.
Very sophisticated leveling mechanism...Though y'all have seen her before, here's our 1976 Argosy motorhome, with 454 Chevy Engine, in her music festival element.

My 2 cents is they are mostly built for profit. As cheap as possible. The Fleetwood I bought was in the shop more than 80 days of the first 150 days. Worthless dealership and factory repairs that were mediocre at best. Once they get your money they become deaf blind and dumb. Not at all impressed to say the least.
Any motorhome requires constant maintenance but should not be engineered to fall apart within 12 months.
Now the available chassis are MUCH better than they were years ago. Very reliable and reasonably efficient.
