Also wiring harness are assembled on jigs so everything is a bundle. a pull tube complicates laying that bundle in the dead space.

Totally agree and understand.
What Thor needs to understand is they are trying to move to flagship type of features that diverges from the old "camping only" mentality....i.e. tvs, radio, satellites, AS connected, CZone...so in that same vein, they should realize that customers will demand and Thor should realize that customers can and will upgrade outside the paradigm of Airstreams "vision" of what they think the trailer should be and how it operates.
Hell, I look at my trailer in just 3 years...I've added some hardcore tech to it for our needs...it could expanded more if I could pipe Ethernet cable and additional power without all the hassle of "how do I do this" vs. hey, here is a nice 2" pipe I can fish connections from front to back.
But I digress, we will just have to find way to be creative to achieve the tasks at hand.
