I can say after downsizing to smaller simpler that unless FT really figures out that people want that this one will not fly. The silly venture into the sprinter follows a failed attempt at horse trailers. They priced the sprinter out if the market vs the road trek and pleasureway. It they price this new one like the sprinter it will not sell either. I hope they make a simple light coach at a price point that is competitive wit the competition.

Don't forget towing capacity. If they can boast highest towing capacity in class that will help sell it. A lot of these motorhome end up dragging people toys behind them and not one at a time.

This is getting to be pfun.  I have a different perspective as I have actually within the body shells dimensions custom  built 37 ftx and GV's from my ca sales manager job.

You will pardon my old fashioned ways but I would seriously suggest a mid door 38' coach no slide allows the galley to be on the street side and have a propane cooktop and the dinette under the main awning facing the campsite.

Without the slide weight and height no tag might be needed.  Lower height.  No tag. More storage inside and out

Like every ftx and GV made.  No it does not look like a "bus."

Has to have two floor plans.  WTBI and the enclosed potty room. 

Aqua hot.  Quiet gen.  Large Solar std.  four 8g8d's.  House refer.  Less fancy paint.  Can be white gel coat and decals as a less price option?

Walnut or light wood.,..
