I know 2 people with Grand Designs and they have done zero-zip to advance their RV's since they started except more floor plans...STILL 10in frame,same Cheap Stereo,DVD"Suround Sound" ,No central vacuum's, no ceiling fans ,no back cap,ETC.....Etc...

The Momentum line has Central vacs. The fan they use for ventilation can also be used as a ceiling fan if you read the manuals for them.

As for stereos, there are a limited number of choices designed for 12VDC operation that will work reasonably well in a mobile environment. They don't make them, they have to buy from other companies that do.

They have also made a LOT of design changes based on customer feedback, and they have done so in a very short time span.

We have been VERY impressed with the Momentum 385TH, and haven't found a better toy hauler.

As for stereos, there are =plenty= of 12v powered systems. Go to even a neighborhood car show and you'll see some =incredible= systems. Yes, they cost, but are we given an option over the junk that's installed? Not likely. They can't even do it for a =safety-related= part, like tires or disk brakes... For $500 bucks, you can have one kick-butt system in your rig...if it's that important to you.
