You are missing 6-7’ of length, one more slide (4), 150 HP/800 torque (525/1900), a true Jake Brake, 2-4 airbags (8-10), 2-4 K of generator (10K-12K), and one more AC unit(3).
Do not want the fireplace or the frame less windows that only open 10-20%...not 50%.
My “new ride” which is 10 years old has all the rest. OK, I had to add the LEDs, USB, & MaxAir covers.

I doubt it helps much but I started my 'ideal motorhome' list a couple years ago here.

[Blondiega1]

This will do for me. This one is as perfect for me as it gets.

Coach #1477 - Newell Coach

[Cat320]

Forget the fireplace and add a side radiator, residential refer and induction cook top. Most of the Cummins ISLs are now up to 450 hp and 1250 torque. The coaches in the size you want will come standard with many of the items listed.

[dons2346]

Thought you missed a fancy mud flap but Isee you listed one.


Did you miss aluminum wheels?

LOL nice list of things.

[IggyTech]

Wow everyone. Now we are talking. Great thoughts on youor ultimate Motorhome.

Interesting everyone hated the frameless windows because of the limited opening. That's interesting fact. That is now off my list.

200 gallon fuel tank. Do you have to take a bank loan to fill each time?

Wonder why? We have the frameless with one Fantastic fan. Very seldom open all of the windows to cool the place with the fan running. We winter in Yuma. Fall and spring can go into the 100+ temps.

I'd ditch the Freightliner chassis. In fact, it would be on my do not call list. Most are low price point rear radiator.
Aqua Hot was #1 on my list (unlimited hot water)
I'd add:
Side radiator
Jake brake (instead of exhaust brake)
Bedroom ceiling fan
Residential refrigerator

Best of luck!

Looks like my list from 5 years ago. Ended up with 37' Allure 470 "Sunset Bay" model. Most things except King bed and side cameras, fireplace. Plus I got a tag axle included....lol.

I agree - a side radiator is a must. I have 2 stage Jake on 400 Cummins - no EGR, DPF, or DEF. 2006 epa engine in a 2007 coach. and 9700 pounds cargo carrying capacity.
