DW and I just ordered our FIRST coach ever at the Hershey show! The forums here have been so invaluable for research and advice, can't thank everyone enough.
Would love you all to give this a once over and make any suggestions...delivery is next spring and we'll be part timing at first and then hopefully full timing with our 3 little ones (5 and under) as soon as possible!
Ordered:
-2015 Newmar Dutch Star 4313
-Bon Bon exterior/Noka interior/Carmel Cherry Cabinets
-3-15M Penguin Heat Pump AC, EMS, 10k Gen
-Heated floors
-All Electric, Maytag fridge, induction cooktop
-Washer & dryer
-Dishwasher
-Dash radio with GPS and Sirius
-Winegard automatic dome satellite dish
-Power TV antenna lift
-Extend Flex dinette
-Power water and electric cord rewind reels
-Recessed docking lights
-Solar prep wiring
-Storage trays - both
-Power window shades
-Safe and shoe storage
-Heat pads for holding tanks
-Shower assist handle
-Power door and baggage locks, Keyless entry
-Additional Girard side awning
-Dometic awning over door
-Driver power window
A few things we're considering/reconsidering:
-Add Factory delivery. Consensus here seems to be "Worth It. DO IT!"
-Add under mount solid surface sink. DW wants dual basin sink especially.
-Swap out King for Queen bed - more space and nightstands might be nice
-Delete GPS and use aftermarket or iPad version for RVs
And now for the "Specials"...here's our potential wish list. When should we start discussing with Newmar team? We spoke about the bunks already at Hershey but little else.
-Add a third bunk
-Headboard - swap for London Aire tufted headboard or Ventana style
-Extra 110 outlets - storage bays, bedroom, etc
-Extra 12v outlets - driver and passenger side
-Auxiliary radio input - is radio Bluetooth compatible?
-Surge protection - I'm unclear if EMS negates need for this.
-Swap floor tile and some fabrics, wall coverings to Ventana Phantom collection
-Extra pantry pullout shelves 3-4?
-Extra drawers in hall wardrobe for kids clothes
-GE Advantium microwave - Is this needed with new Whirlpool model?
-AGM batteries?
-Extenda dinette - do we need to request extra table leaves and the support leg? Saw a post saying table doesn't extend, which seems silly since the seating does!
-Kitchen soap dispenser and maybe bathroom too?
-Aqua jet water pump - not sure if this is needed?
-RV Sanicon - haven't researched this enough.
All input is welcome...thank you in advance. We're thrilled to join the Newmar owners family.
