As Promised -- Pictures!
All,
I'm just wrapping up a full one week delivery of my new MADP 4553 at Midway RV in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have never been successful at attaching individual pictures to an iRV2 thread, so I'm attempting to attach a "This Life Shutterfly" link with many pictures. Hopefully, you can easily enlarge and scroll through them. If it doesn't work, I'll be back with Plan B...once I figure out what Plan B will be.

Good job with the pics. Got a Niece who lives in the GR area. We visit often. It's a nice area of MI.

How well does the cell phone booster work? What antenna did you install? Who put the extra water filter in? Nice extras in the wet bay. Beautiful coach. What other "specials" did you put on your coach?

Hey Jigs...
Nice job with the pics, more more so great job with the coach design (we met you at the design center in April). And the colors are gorgeous!
Our Essex is still in the paint shop, getting the cut and buff done, then will be prepped for factory delivery. Still a long wait to go!
A couple of questions:
Who did your stainless trim? I am waiting for an estimate from Newmar service and if the price is not right I will go to Summit Products and have it installed by the mfgr of the product.
Tell us about the water pressure valve. What brand is it and did they install it at the dealer? Great idea!
Did I see in one of the pictures a Progressive Surge protector?
Have fun and thanks for the great pics.

Congratulations. Beautiful coach. I like your living room configuration. I am thinking about doing something similar to ours. Is there any room for passage with the slides closed?

Hi Joe,
I remember you and your wife very well.
My Summit stainless package was installed by Midway RV. They did an incredible job. So much so, that I gave them a shout out on an iRV2 thread titled "Kudos to Midway RV". You may want to read the particulars there.
The water pressure regulator is a Watts 263A-LF. I purchased it through Rick at rvwaterfilerstore.com. I also purchased the dual canister filter system through them. It consists of a sediment filter (clear canister) and a carbon filter (white canister). The installation was one of many dealer installations completed at Midway RV.
Yes, the surge protector is a Progressive Industries EMS-HW50. It is installed in conjunction with a Hughes Autoformer voltage regulator. I supplied Midway with a wiring diagram for a plug and play setup. Both the cord reel and the coach Transfer Switch are wired to electrical outlets. I plug the devices into the receptacles instead of hard wiring directly to the components. If for example, the Hughes Autoformer fails, I simply unplug it, remove it, and plug the surge protector directly into the transfer switch receptacle.
ScottyA,
I had numerous pre-construction specials completed by Newmar, and also a whole bunch of dealer installations completed by Midway RV. Midway completed the electrical wiring (110V and 12V) and antenna cabling for weBoost cellular and WiFi Ranger Elite boosters. They ran the wiring and antenna cables to the cabinet above the entry door, where they install both boosters. They mounted both antennas at the base of the front cap on the driver and passenger sides of the roof.

Plenty of room with the slides in.

That is one spectacular coach, Hilton. Beautiful choices inside and out! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing the bus in September at the Hoots rally.
Happy motoring!
