According to the 2021 Verona Changes document, it is standard. It is also not listed as an option on the build sheet, so I have to think it is in fact standard.

Thanks, upgrade sheet says 2 lithium batteries and price sheet says (3) wonder what it will be?

From pictures I have seen of units for sale with the option, it is 3.

Personally, the L9 over the ISB would make the decision for me.

But I live in the West, traverse mountains all of the time, and always tow something.

YMMV.

Have you settled on a model yet? I've seen you on a couple forums asking the exact questions I went there to ask. Wanted to say thanks for compiling the data in a meaningful way the same I was starting to.



At some point we'll have to catch up in person so I can buy you a beer for all the legwork you've done already.






I'm interested in your use case. We'll be fulltime (wife, myself, two 60 lb dogs), working 7 days a week virtually, towing our 7k lb Toyota Tundra on a trailer (also don't have the trailer yet, but plan for an open car hauler type).



I'm curious - what other models are you looking at besides the Verona, Valencia and DX3?

Considering a move from my 2019 Valencia to a 2021 Verona since the cabover sleeping area is now available in the Verona. I agree with all the other posts that the upgraded chassis / engine have great appeal, particularly when towing and driving in mountains.

What has been your experience with the Aqua Hot system in the Verona or any other coach you may have owned? My service advisor told me it must be serviced every year to maintain warranty (which is understandable). I have also heard you must power on the system at least 1X / month for the diesel injector does not get clogged. Haven't had time to confirm this so curious as to anyone's experience.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of the hard work it took to compile this data! My wife and I shopping for a Renegade and in the process of making this same decision and your comparison was incredibly helpful.



I do think we've come down to the Verona. It's just myself and the wife so we don't need the cab over bunk and would prefer more storage. That along with the other chassis benefits pretty much made the decision for us.

Do you know if there is a sheet like this for the new XL?

From where did the helpful comparison chart of the Val and Ver come? Home made, or from a dealer or company web site? I'd love to find a similar one for the Val 35MB and the Ver 36VSB. Thanks. j
