Some of the interesting things that my 1981 33 foot Wanderlodge came from the factory with include:
An icemaker
A convection/microwave oven
A built in alarm system with an integrated paging system that has a 2-mile range
A panic switch that turns on all interior and exterior lights simultaneously
A musical horn with a 100-song memory and a hookup for an external keyboard
A musical doorbell with a 125 song memory
A 3-phone intercom system (driver/kitchen/bedroom)
A built-in countertop blender/food processor/juicer
Three electric, three propane and three engine coolant space heaters, one set per compartment (passenger, kitchen, bedroom)
A safe
A built-in vacuum cleaner
A CB radio with an exterior paging system
A cassette and an 8-track tape deck
A 10" color TV which doubles as a rear view camera
Seating with seatbelts for 10
A 12.5 Kw Diesel Generator
A 12 gallon electric hot water heater that also is heated by engine coolant
Instant hot water (for hot drinks)
A three-stage water filter/purification system
Two 45-amp battery chargers (recently replaced by a 100-amp charger/2000 watt inverter
An all-steel riveted body, the only RV that meets government rollover standards
One main (24') and five window (ZipDee) awnings, plus an add-on screen room for the main awning
In addition to all the regular type RV stuff and all the stuff I have added or am planning to add.
There is probably more, I just haven't found it or figured out how to operate it yet.:>)

It also has a Class 4 hitch and has no problem towing Goldibox (RVC) on a tow dolly.

If you have more questions go to: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wanderlodge/

Its an interesting group, the main topics of discussion are tires, auxiliary batteries, fuel mileage, noise-proofing, etc... kinda like this list.
