There are somethings that I miss that I have addressed and some that I will just live with. My wife misses the extra counter space. Our DP had nice level stovetop and sink covers that help make better use of the limited real estate. We don't cook many meals, so we live with it. The bed and bath areas are more cramped, but again we live with that. I plan to add some small bedside shelving for glasses, cell phone, watches, etc. while sleeping. We don't now have an icemaker, so its back to ice trays. I installed the Progressive surge protector from the DP in the Nexus. The storage compartments are more limited and aren't carpeted. I installed some rubber interlocking floor tiles which keeps things from sliding around so much.
I got the option for the Touch screen Stereo w/Nav/Backup monitor/Sirius/Bluetooth which I somewhat regret. With its location, the screen is hard to see because of reflections from inside the coach. Also I like to keep the rearview monitor up and also the GPS screen. Add going through menus for changing from one function to another while driving was a disaster waiting to happen. As a result I removed the plastic "cubby hole" from the dash and added an LCD monitor for the rearview camera. Next, I installed a GPS in a location similar to where a rearview mirror would mount. I just use the stereo now for listening. The speakers in the cab sound very tinny. I installed a subwoofer under the passenger seat which helps a lot, but I haven't addressed the main speakers yet. I also added a sound bar for the TV. It has Bluetooth which we sometimes use to listen to music off the cell phones. The TV volume was not sufficient to hear over the sound of the AC when parked or the road noise when the grandkids watched videos.
With the safety rail and ladder I added to the over-cab bunk, the grandkid's little hide-away is perhaps the biggest advantage the Nexus has over the DP.
