An inside camera just like used on the sides would be ideal. Integrated, obscure, effective.

The 4510 plan has the dinette on the passengers side and yes, that is a 30" slide out. But the big benefit to us is how we use it. When you're cooking you're standing up. You're not looking out a window. We always try and find site where the view or company is on the passengers side. So it is much nicer when we sit down to have the dinette on that side.

It seems what you really want is the narrow (18") slide on the passengers side, not the drivers side. I would state it that way because we have the dinette on the passengers side and that slide is still 30".

We really prefer the kitchen on the drivers side . . . that was my point.

a. 36' New Aire floorplans
b. Opposing full-wall slides
c. Self-closing entry door; I hate having to slam that door all the time
d. Integrated TPMS

A Canyon Star 3921 with a Front engine diesel. Would love to have a class A toy hauler with diesel option.

If Freightliner didn't discontinue the Mountain Master mid engine chassis, I believe that option would still exist with the All Star.

Agreed with your suggestions I would love to see an air assisted door opening/closing system installed to prevent me and the DW slamming the door all the time...I am sure it would possibly also help with road noise a little as well but I am no engineer...

The RV industry just doesn't buy enough product.

Hmm - we have the Freightliner chassis and it comes with a "smart wheel" that does control radio, cameras, DVD player, etc.

Dimmers available on all lights. ESPECIALLY the entrance light. Our couch surfing guests get their eyeballs nuked when the dog needs to go out at 6 am.

Optional split (opening) window at passenger seat.

+1 for more 12V & USB charging ports especially at dash. Lots of electronics these days that all need power...
Phones
Toad brake controls
GPS
Dash cams
TPMS
Etc
Even w built ins many prefer separate stand alone items

Easy access under dash...my old Wbgo there was a hinged section that tilted up for access vs having to do major surgery to access anything on dash

5 pages and for sure the number one is a tpms option. Suppose there's a liability issue here? Can't imagine why they wouldn't include it, at least as an option. Every automobile has them, right?

Some coaches do have it "in the tire" - there is an Essex a few spots over from me that has it. So yeah, it's possible and yeah, it should be in every Newmar coach.

Motion activated security lights at all four corners of the coach which can be turned on/off/auto within. Here is what I installed and they work great if anyone wants this capability.

How did you attach these 4 security lights to the side of your coach?

Believe it or not my LADP has a microswitch on the back of the seat pedestal that will stop the slide from operating unless it is facing forward - yours might also. You have to lift the skirt and look under it to see it. It's easy for me to check out because I have a drivers door.
