I agree to the comments above, but I would place the 22.5 tires as a must after the floor plan. I have owned class A’s on the 19.5’s and the larger 22.5’s. No comparison. Happy hunting.

I am not sure how to know if a coach has Version 1 or 2. I heard from the tech that early 2016 models were using the original "Slim Track" and late produced 2016's were having the stronger system.
