lynnmor Word has it that they did upgrade the tire to "G's" on the heaver trailers an moved around some light switches I have to say if the upgraded tires on the heaver trailers 13 & 14k that's one small step forward  All we can do is keep trying for more upgrades which add to a better trailer at a minim cost to them .... Mind you, I don't want bing/glammer, I want functionality an the high priced trailer MFG all have the bing/glammer already at a very high cost Safe Travels Chuck |

I think it should be installed on all models, even the smaller models. I know we didn't pay $60,000 for our Connect lite, but we have the same extra expenses as everyone else when we bought ours, so why should this just be provided just on the more expensive models? All TT are at risk of surges and doing damage to their TT. This is the list of stuff we have purchased in the last month that I feel should be included with EVERY unit: surge protector, locking battery box, and locks for propane tanks. It's amazing how much money we have spent to make our TT more secure from theft and damage from electrical surges. I didn't mean that only the high end should have the EMS, I think there should be a list of options like the EMS. The problem for new RV'ers is what options to order. Sales people that will sell things they have no idea about, or you don't need that. Sales guy doesn't do PDI's they send a tech that is suppose to know the systems. Experience is the best teacher of what YOU need. I went from 16ft-25ft-33ft-35ft and each had something the one before didn't. Accessories are the same thing, I used lego blocks for years, then I found Anderson leveler (great if you don't have auto leveling) and finally auto leveling on this one. Sewer hoses, how many? Electrical adapters, which ones. What spare parts? What tools & test equipment. These things are not critical for weekenders but the longer your out the more you should carry. Your ability to trouble shoot & repair can determine just how much of what. If you don't have things to do some basic fixing, have a big bank account to have a repairman come to you. Is your unit secure? Do you have a CH 751 key? Most common key in the RV industry. |

I would guess that the options are limited per model because customization affects line build time. If I have an RV whose 2 electric options are 30 and 50 AMP, there's going to be little difference between wiring up the two cables. Now add in the option of an EMS. There would be a large time difference between installing option 1 and option 2. Where can you make up that time or is part of your crew going to have to sit around and wait?
They are in it to make money and I bet the limited options per line does just that by keeping the line moving and limiting down time. I also think this is where the dealer could come in. You want some extras, do it pre-delivery and be able to include it in the cost of the RV so people don't have to shell out thousands of dollars on delivery.

Johnr Our dealer had a book of options we could get when buying our 384, they were all under 1K but you could combine items up to 1K (was a show special)... When we went to pick up our trailer the Salesman had a deck of cards, he took us to each area, front desk, Sales, RV parts, shop repair, service, management etc,at each stop he introduce us to the people an said pick a card. Face cards were at face value of the dollar value an the King, Queen, jack was worth $20, so if you were lucky you could get over $300 to spend in the RV store... We did ok coming out with about $275 an bought a large outside mat, new sewer hose's an some minor things, but all together we were given $1275 as a perk for buying a $62K trailer, you could say not much of a trade off  but it was something Chuck |
