Good luck with this.
Manufacturers are focussed on showroom appeal, so change graphics, internal colour schemes, handles, etc each year, adding in dubious quality tech.
What's really needed is improvements in usability, and there are lots:
With relatively few super pitches, caravanners carry fresh and waste water containers - where to put these? They ought to have dedicated external storage, but we finish up with having to dry/clean them to store inside the van, as many front lockers are now too small or been done away with...
Same with Electric hook up cable that we have to wind onto reels or stuff in carrier bags. These should be capable of being pulled out vacuum cleaner style with a retractable system...
Locking: usually 2 keys, one for the main door, one for all outside lockers. In my case I have 10 separate locks to the latter, to be checked. Surely given the existence of the 12v system, central locking would be a lot more convenient, since the technology is already proven in cars.
Window catches: similar issue to locking. Windows each have between 2 and 5 plastic catches each. I think I have 24 of these. This is a real pain having to operate all these if abroad and plenty of windows open when you want to go out. A single catch is required to give multipoint locking, perhaps using the principal from domestic front doors. Caravanners are a pretty decent bunch, but thefts do occur..
As already mentioned we need units that are built and remain waterproof, using better quality materials and fittings that don't fall off
