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.
