K-Z, factory wasn't running at 2pm due to the fact workers start at 5am so couldn't get any worker interaction. Factory was also pretty clean. Coach I looked at seemed to have plenty of kitchen storage space which I think is a great thing. Fit and finish looked to be darn good though I did point out a couple cabinet doors that were out of plumb. Use of alum roof trusses was good, also all the alum perimeter tubes, sidewalls and trusses were filled with wood in order to have something substantial to attach to. Serious lack of USB plug ins...like to have those to keep things charged without having to run generator, mentioned I'd like to see some on both sides of master bed, in the kitchen and in the garage area. Also good at keeping wiring and hoses away from tire area. Goodyear tires are an option. The use of residential black threaded pipe for long runs of gas line I thought was pretty heavy duty. Neither company was open to having the option of a larger 7000 onan, let alone a fuel injected model. 7000 gen does away from having to have the energy controller to shut things down when turning on the AC. The use of a 2x2 tube on bottom of I-beam where spring hangers are attached in the axle area was good though I did recommend they run a tie bar from side to side to form a square to tie both sides together. They said they would take that, the caulk around the ramp door and the usb issue under advisement. Didn't like the location of dump valves which were under the frame. Told them they would need to be in a panel location before I would purchase one, they are cable controllers so they can put them wherever they choose within reason of course...getting too old to get on the ground to dump tanks, they said they would look at that also. Hyd slides so that's a great thing in my opinion. The mor-ryde 0-gravity door is also available on KZs. If I had to choose Voltage or KZ, I would probably lean toward the KZ. Again these are just my opinions.
