I like your attitude and agree with you future outlook.

I still want to get back in via the driver’s-side door, which doesn’t exist.

Just like i sometimes want to mount my Harley Road King from the left.

Which wouldn’t be prudent.

We love what we get used to. So, nothing.

Like most things in our coach. Sure, would prefer a bit more power, and disc brakes, but overall it's been a solid well made coach. So to answer, I'd say the Owen Glass caused Micro Checking that hit many coaches of this era, is probably my pet peeve - not easily corrected.

A secondary issue, not just with my coach but many others too, are the main awnings that come out and cannot be adjusted. Useless in moderate winds, and sitting out under then in the rain eventually becomes a shower time for all underneath - as the canopy fills with water and eventually the weight causes a 'dump' of accumulated water. The simple arm's of older awnings, allows angle adjustment to help in wind and rain.

Best to all,
Smitty

OP, it's funny what you mention about the step into your coach. Something that surprises me about RVs (especially high end ones) is the lack of compliance to common sense, well established building codes. Something like steps are just such a hazard when built wrong. Having a variation in tread depths of more than 3/8" in a flight of stairs is a no-go in a house but, for some reason, is no problem in an RV.

Lack of accessibility grab bars. Most folks are right handed, the lack of interior right side grab bars makes it difficult for some family members.

I haven't got to use mine yet because of the renovation but that dang tv cabinet over the drivers seat is pretty rough on my head.

I have to agree with Smitty 77, I liked the adjustability of the manual awning much more than the electric awning.
It was cool to just push the button on the remote control at first, but it just can't compare to the old one.

The head banger old style TV. It will be gone shortly.

The location of the inverter. Difficult to say the least.

Changing the electric heating element in the hot water heater. Not fun.

For me, the cabinet over the bathroom sink is not far enough back. When I lean in to spit out toothpaste, I crack my noggin often.

For DW, the king bed takes up so much space in the bedroom that she has a very hard time getting to the head of the bed when making it.

Other than that we really like the layout and use-ability of our coach.

PS - but stuff falls apart each and every time we go somewhere.....

Mine doesn't turn sharp enough. Specs say the front wheel turn angle is 55 degrees - if that's true, I would like to have had 65 degrees.

We have the stock unit with AC RELAY CONTROL. Naturally it has a mild hum, which we can hear when very quiet. There are drawers on the inside wall that I use for linens, which helps dampen. I will replace with a higher end unit when the time comes.

The Norcold 1200 refrigerator! I removed it the first week of ownership and found burned hoses/wood behind it.

I'm happy with everything inside the coach including the seating arrangement, storage, power and handling. I especially like that it has been trouble free for five years. The one thing I would change (and it can be done) is the angle that the two Paramount awnings are mounted at. I have to be sure to retract both of them before any rain or it will pool on the flat upper section. This can be corrected by shimming the roof brackets to tip it down a couple degrees. With that change both awnings can be left out in a downpour and the water just runs off the end.

I know this goes against many folks but I really want more sleeping space. Right now we can only sleep 4 comfortably. When we bought the rig it was just the two of us and our children lived on opposite coasts. Now we all live within 20 min of each other and I love to travel with the entire group. Now I have the upgrade itch...
