Your observations and evaluation is spot on. I think I am on my 9th RV. I knew the mattress was junk when looking at the trailer and put a foam topper on it. If we used the trailer for weeks at a time I would change out the mattress but, it's only 1 or 2 nights a trip. The last rv was a Artic fox and it had a great mattress. Comparing the 2 of same year/ type/size. The AF is about 12-15000 more than the Keystone. The TP and towel holder. I like the fact TP is not mounted, with small bathrooms they get in the way or broken. A portable stand works best. Towels hang on the back side of the door. If you want a rack/holder check out a folding one mounted where ever you want it. The AF had one in the shower and it worked good. They are sold at RV stores. I think RVs mainly come basic and the owners fix them up the way they need them to fit their use. That does keep the cost down since not everyone wants the TP holder mounted where some Keystone worker thinks it should go. As far as the electric awning, this is the first one for me. I love it. Rolling awning in or out with manual rods is a pain. Never leave any awning out in wind or when away from the trailer to avoid damage.
