We have a new 2018 NL 8-11 dry bath.
We went on two tours ( we live close by) and I went through these things pretty good before I jumped in.
They have added a new mesh type layer which is about 1" thick by the size of the foam mattress. This is the first year 2018, that they have had this item in their campers and it was installed to help airflow under the full size 60x 80 mattress. Time will let how this will work, but it sounds like they are headed down the right road.
All the mattress now are a foam mattress,( can't think of the name)
The thermostat in the 2018 is no digital.
The furnace has small ( looks like 2.5" ) aluminum flexible ducts that feed into the holding tank area and over to the gray/black water valve area, which is a great idea.
We haven't stayed in the winter in this rig yet, but we plan to while we head out snowmobiling. We did it in a very old Vangaurd back in the late 70's and we didn't freeze, but then again, we didn't use any water in the camper.
One trick for camping in the winter is leave all the cupboards open so warm are can get in them...
If you send me a private message with an email address I can send you a picture of the stuff under the mattress....
Great camper.... good luck
