Because they're designed by idiots.

Here's another one I've seen as I've been going through the purchase process.
Why do some models not put a light switch in the bunkhouse? How is my 4' 6" 10 year old going to reach the overhead light?

Why did they mount the radio mast right next to the TV antenna so that every time I adjust the TV antenna I hear 'BOING'?

Why don't the people that design campers camp in them? We might see a whole lot more common sense approaches to some of these questions.

Why can not the hookups all be same on all campers and you get to fine the CG when they don't have appropriate setup. Have yet to see camper with sewer on the curb side but over two CGs have been that way. One was the way on the whole row.

Why is the sewer storage carrier all the way under the trailer so you must lay on the ground to get the cap off of it?

12 volt small appliances are the most energy efficient, but the only 12 volt plug is at the drivers seat..........?

And it should be on the back or somewhere besides the middle of the trailer.

Also.... Why are the slide switches and light switches not marked? or at least on mine.
Why are some overhead lights not on the wall switches?

All of this makes me more frustrated than an Amish electrician.
