We didn't have to special order our 2015 1172. Surprisingly, we got everything we wanted on it without having to order it. We've been stocking it for our first trip when we actually get to use it for 5 wks in June.
Found that the Rear camera has sound, but needs an outside switch so you don't have to put out the slide to turn switch on and off. The 1-95w solar panel works easily to keep the batteries full and the generator starts up as easily as the 6500w one on our Suite. Also found the Serta mattress is very hard to make when someone is trying to pull down the sheets at the bottom while you're pulling the corners over the top. We already added a 1.5" foam topper and a puffy mattress cover to help us get a good nights sleep.
Also found it rides much nicer than our 1999 Fleetwood Caribou used to on the 1999.5 F350. Hardly even remember it's in the bed, except when we look out the rearview mirrors.
Once we finish up in NE IN, we are heading to NM, so won't have time to take both the TC and the 5er with us. So we're debating if we want to do the return trip and keep it in NM for weekend trips. Decisions, Decisions...
