I so agree with you!! We are awaiting our new 2014 Lincoln and it's one of the few things I hate about the Rushmore. There will be at least two immediate mods- the pantry and replacing the plastic sink in the bathroom. We have spent the past 6 yearsjust short of full time in our 2008 Heartland Bighorn. I LOVE their white wire slide out pantry and the full size"real" bathroom sink and faucet. I will try to find- or have built, a replacement slide outpantry and we'll do the sink and faucet ourselves before we head out again. Too bad we will have to.
