So, WHY, FR do you continue to put out new and modern motor homes with stripped down cheaped out cabs?
With more and more States passing Hands Free laws why do you not include radios with Hands Free capability? It’s a frigging basic safety feature in virtually any vehicle — except, it seems, motor homes.
I’ll give you a pass on satellite capable radios, nav systems and certainly on heated seats and the like. And we won’t talk about TPMS...
But Hands Free —seriously?
You say, well that’s just the way the incomplete vehicles come to us!
NOPE, that’s the way they come to you because that’s the way YOU SPEC THEM. It’s not like Ford and Chevy (yeah I’m talking specifically C’s here) don’t have head units for these vehicles that contain those systems — they certainly do — so spec em to include them.
So here we are with a spanking new 2020 model, and to answer the frigging phone (or call ahead for site reservations, or road conditions, or report highway safety issues...) I have to find somewhere to pull this beast over because to touch the phone otherwise is against the fricking law in my state (and a growing number of others too)!
Okay, Rant Off.

Why don't you put the phone away and concentrate on driving? Let your navigator handle the phone calls as you drive.
I also have a phone when I drive but the phone is turned off. I will not even consider using a phone when driving as to much of your attention is diverted to the phone use an not to driving your vehicle.
In fact studies have found that phone use in a vehicle when driving is very similar as to driving drunk! Would you do that?
