What option would you add?

What options did you order from factory and dealer. I like the 38Q except it is too long for my road to the cottage so I have the 35G. I thought the washer/dryer was just an option but we now see it as a necessity.

* we ordered a 6-way powered co-pilot seat. never did understand why the left seat was powered and the right seat was manual.

* we didn't like the stock sofa and recliner that came with the 38Q...they were uncomfortable (especially that Euro-Style recliner) and butt-ugly. but we did like the sofa and recliner in the Meridian (they actually looked like a sofa and recliner) so we that's what we ordered. unfortunately for us the Meridian sofa was 6" too long for the space in the 38Q so the factory is making one for us.

as for standard options we ordered

* the queen bed (comes with actual, usable side tables)

* the driver's door (our 2016 is a U1 model which is mostly a 2015 model. the 2016 U1s were only available for a short time. the 2016 U2 models have a completely redesigned cab and a driver's door is not available even as an option...or so the factory told us).

* the Winegard Trav'ler sat dish antenna (Dish Network)

* the in-dash AM/FM/Sat radio with GPS

* vinyl tile throughout except for the slideout rooms, cab and stepwell where there will be carpeting. the 2016 U2 models have no carpets.

* the 100-watt solar battery charger

we did not add the washer/dryer since there is no storage under the bed and we've been getting along without one (washer/dryer, not the bed) just fine for the past 30-yrs. one of the things the dealer is doing is re-configuring that space into a closet. although final details have yet to be worked out the door to that cabinet will be removed and the rear TV will be re-located to the top 25% of the closet. the remaining 75% of the will have 1 or 2 pull-out drawers and maybe a shoe shelf. a sliding door will cover the lower 75% while the TV will have a built-in look on the top.

whew. other customizations include window awnings, installing a PI Surge-Guard, different shower door, removing or disabling the keyless entry lock with an actual keyed lock, replacing the Jack antenna with a Winegard Sensar IV/Wingman (powered), water and electric powered reels, built-in vac system, wall safe, running a 30-amp DC power and ground cable from the coach batteries to the cab for my ham radio equipment and installing a CB antenna on the sidewall. double whew!

as I said....this will very likely be our last MH sooooo what the heck.
