In the future when all RVs are made this way at least they will then all be put together the same......OK, maybe!

I don't think so, with the right software the level of customization would be unimaginable, the computer can add reinforcements or bracing where needed and the printer just spits out one unit after another with (hopefully) no screw ups.

Would the walls be the same color inside and out or could you have a choice. Would the print heads plug up / wear out after x amount of hours and how often would the print heads need to be changed?

I'll bet the supply tanks would need to be huge.
