RVers hate exterior lights and speakers, but I have a theory on why manufacturers keep adding them

Theory Briefing

• RVers widely complain that exterior lights and speakers are unwanted, yet manufacturers keep installing them in new models.
• The theory: RV decision-makers don't actually go RVing, so they optimize for what dazzles on a dealer lot, not what works at a campsite.
• Features that wow a first-time buyer in a showroom can annoy experienced campers and neighbors in the real world.
• This gap between who designs a product and who lives with it explains why user feedback rarely seems to reach the factory floor.
