WOW!!!
Love the construction, but they really need to stop with the overly-busy bath tile choices - looks tacky in a coach at that price level. Whoever suggests those (and puts multiple different ones in the same small space) needs to go back to interior design school.
That's what jumped out for me as well.
The little bitty 1/2" and 3/4" mosaics are intended to be used as small accents (think understated jewelry), but not used in a large field. Ditto the pencil tile, and the large field of light/dark one they show on the bathroom wall there screams 1990's tract housing (or cheap DIY home project gone wrong). There should be only 1 bossy item in a space, otherwise they fight with each other, create unpleasant tension in the feeling of the space, and don't give your eyes a chance to rest. Hard attached finishes that are difficult to change should be neutral and timeless.
In a coach of this caliber, those tile selections are abominable.
I know I don't have tastes, but I didn't think the tiles in the coaches in this video looked bad. Maybe seeing in video and not in person makes the difference since I have seen some showers and say, "What were they thinking". Not sure with the newer coaches but in the older ones the owners could pick what they wanted.
I noticed the hoses in the bottom floor. Going to make it hard to run new hoses as the coach ages. I wonder how they protect the hoses when they weld the outriggers on.
When I was at the factory a few weeks ago, I was looking at the new coaches. I do not like the new rear cap at all. I think if I looked at the rear cap all the time I would have nightmares thinking that a monster was going to eat me.
While I was at the factory they had a new chassis on the showroom floor. They had a girl polishing it up. There was also a tech trying to figure out where oil was leaking from in the front area.
In the last month I have talked to a few people that have the new front suspension with the ping tanks. One had them installed on his coach and one was on a new 2024 coach where the owner had just gotten and traded his 2020 IH45. Everyone said they made a big difference in the ride. I had sent an email to FOT to see what the cost would be to upgrade my coach but have not gotten an answer back.
It's almost like they had a previous run on several coaches and had a bunch of tile left over that had to use up... ::)
Reminds me of back in my college days where I made a run to a dumpster out back of a carpet store... managed to "carpet" my room with all sorts of different carpets, colors and cuts.
Some of 'em were even shag! 8)
Looked pretty cool... for a couple months until the glue gave out. :facepalm:
