One consideration I haven't seen mentioned yet is power consumption. When talking about an RV that has a dual purpose, part house when plugged in on unlimited power, part self contained on limited battery power, for most people, a hybrid sound system is the most appropriate. It's more a compromise between a "power hungry ultimate sound (home theater system) and "power stingy, good enough sound" that is sustainable on limited battery power.
If you do a lot of dry camping, having an expensive 110VAC sound bar with wireless sub-woofer doesn't do much when you have to turn it up to drown out the generator and the yelling, upset neighbor in the next campsite...... I know, extreme example, but often relevant to dry camping, especially in crowded, unimproved public sites. That kind of system is great for someone who us usually tied to shore power, but......
Upgrading a stereo system in an RV is very much a personal choice. Music and sound are also very preferential. For someone who camps by a quiet lake without hookups, wears hearing aids, doesn't listen to music that vibrates their chest or needs to hear the "essence of the drums while relishing the clarity of the violins" when sunbathing outside the camper, the choice of electronics can be very different from someone who prefers the "Omnivision experience" while watching a movie at "mobile suburbia" at the local KOA with full hookups.
For most, it's a compromise on what the batteries will sustain and what the ears (and wallet) can accept.
