I get that sentiment.

Me, I want somebody to try it again, and do it right. As opposed to Wright.

Five minutes after the corrected one is built, the new guy is an architectural Leonardo da Vinci, and Wright becomes some guy who held the palette for him.

Considering the relationship that Leonardo da Vinci had with palette-holders and the fact that Wright's dead... implications unpleasant.

Only if one is both tragically literal-minded, and living in Yogi's head.
In which case, Eew! :P

I resent the implication that I require a corrupting influence. :P

Wright made beautiful houses, that were very unliveable. That's my take from my short time as an Architecture Major.
He also make fancy auditoriums/production venues with a terrible view of the stage. (looking at you Gammage)

At least that's my (non-expert, YMMV) opinion and what I meant to convey. I've seen all kinds of rigs built by everyone from Jay Schaeffer to some anonymous redneck, but I don't always express myself clearly and concisely, and not all sites/people use the same terminology.

RVs designed for snowbirds are really designed for year-round living. Especially the popouts.
