Why I Need a New Coach (Cornerstone)
My old classic Anthem (I know, old, right?) needs a VT upgrade. This is the DW's solution to putting one shade down at a time, gotta do something about that!
Did I mention 600 horsepower?

 Sounds like a GREAT fix to me. NIRVC - ANGIE will have a 2017 used CORNERSTONE after April.

Unless they have reprogrammed those shades to be able to opperate the right side separately from the left side, the Vega Touch will not solve that issue. Maybe the 2018's will come programmed that way..!
The 600 HP more than makes up for it though..!

John, I was able to have my Classic shades reprogrammed by Firefly for one side of the coach at a time and the fronts, BIG HELP! but not all shades independently.
Unless the 2017 "can have" independently controlled shades with the many buttons of the Vega Touch, your DW has the right idea. There is not enough wall space to put enough buttons on a Classic.

Hah! You did get a 2018. Did you get the one with the Stars & Stripes chassis? I knew they brought that down for you and Bonnie to see.

I knew Tommy and Bonnie couldn't skip a year, just not in their track record

I heard that if you order one with the Stars and Stripes chassis, they paint the entire coach that way. That would be great if you ever want to enter politics and run for office some day.

John, if you get a Cornerstone your shades will go up and down much faster due to the big 600 engine.

You guys (& gals) are lucky! My rig doesn't even have a window in the bedroom head end slide due to the king bed and slide configuration! And I've found the 650 HP doesn't help either.

This is one thing I really LIKE about my Aspire - I can raise and lower any shade I darn well want to.
