I love my Bernina 830LE. It does EVERYTHING! DH takes it on and off the frame for me. I use it for the decorative stitches and embroidery. For piecing the 380 is much more responsive. The 830 is wonderful on the frame and comes with free classes. I would think it would be a bit big for an RV but I would throw out all kinds of other stuff to make room for it myself! Perhaps you could buy an 820 demo for less? They do come with a BSR.
