purchased a custom dune sport toyhauler
We purchased a custom dune sport toyhauler. received it in early oct, sadly only had time for one trip. this is the only company that i know of that actually allows one to draw your own floor plan, do...

one thing i should add about that reversible sofa bed..... that is a lippert product, as far as i know. they are under designed and over spec'd imo. we really like that couch, very comfortable and suits our wants perfectly! having said that, the frame is to weak for 3 women each under 150lbs, to sit on. the frame didn't collapse but it has a bow in it now. i can straighten it and will ad some support legs to the center. if anyone opts for one of those just know that you will want to add support to the center of it before use.
i do want to add that i do not , never have nor ever will like the looks of corrugated siding. yes, i ordered mine with it in a dark grey. they offer it in a light grey as well and would prob go that rt if i were to do it again. i opted for it because it was 700 lbs lighter and $3500 cheaper then the fiberglass siding ( tech fylon siding). todays fylon has a shorter life span from what i have seen. maybe it's the installation method maybe a lower quality material, i don't know. this corrugated siding in dark grey has a heavy metal flake that looks really good! on a 85* sunny day, the siding in direct sun light measured 120* with my ir temp gun. the lighter grey/silver might do better but i just couldn't stand the white. i knew it the darker grey would be hotter but so far the batt insulation did it's job and stayed very nice inside.
the attwood air command roof ac's they use are amazing!!! while running, on low fan, 9 amp draw and so quiet you can comfortably speak with someone inside. they are not ducted either. our last toyhauler, the roof ac was so loud on low fan you **** near had to yell! these air commands are quieter then the ducted roof ac that was in our wolf pack 295 fiver toyhauler.
now , one thing dunesport didn't do, i wish i had known they didn't do it, is to remote the control pad off the face of the ac unit down to the wall. attwood sells an extension cord for this purpose. it's possible they don't know about it as well. the remotes work nice but i don't like relying on batteries. the ac in the bedroom is no problem as i can reach that one while standing on the floor. my wife cannot but i can. the 8' tall side walls make a step stool necessary to reach the one in the living area. not a problem but again, would've been nice to have the control panels wall mounted. this is not a complaint, just an fyi to anyone thinking about these ac units. dometic does make 24 volt roof ac units now, not sure what btu ratings currently but that is what i would want if i did it again. the 10 cu ft dometic 12 volt fridge we opted for is supposedly capable of 24 volt operation as well. so the ac's and fridge on 24 volts would make for a nice boon docking option with a solar charging system and lithium battery bank. just an fyi
