My husband and I are wishing we had another bump out (slide) or two. We also are really unhappy with the size of the grey water tank it is a real pain when you go to a park w/o full hookups. One shower and one meals dish washing and we are full and that's being REALLY H20 aware when running the water for both. We love the lay out of our rig, but the recliner is not very comfortable to my short body and I can't get it reclined all the way, it always wants to fold me up unless I keep my arms (and thus more weight) above my head. So, we have come up w/ a RV wish list. Now, we realize buying pre-owned it is very, make that VERY difficult to find everything you want in a coach in a price range you can afford, but we are putting it out there into the universe and if it is meant to be, it will be...here is our Dream coach wish list

What our rig needs: Foggy dual pane Windows repaired,  new carpet  ,  tile in kitchen and bath,     speakers,   distributor cap/coil/plug wires/hoses and belts   
We really like the floor plans that have an easy chair or chairs w/ottomans in the bedroom/ a table , we do not like the floor plans that have the shower with a skylight over it in the bedroom that blast you awake as soon as the sun rises! Would like the doghouse lower so I don't have to climb over it all the time.  The 2005 version of what we have now is what I REALLY want but they hold their value so well I may have to wait a couple years until it comes in our price range. In the meantime we really do love our rig and plan to have fun in it until we can find one just a little bit more than this one. We will do the few things mechanically that keep her trucking along smooth and see if we can find our DREAM RV in a price we can pay cash for. Happy Campers until that day comes, our next "weinerbago adventure" probably won't be until after March as we have puppies coming the end of January, see you on the road! 
Would love to hear what other RV'ers like or dislike about their rigs in the comments
