Here's just some random comments beyond just floorplan:
- You might want to buy it built on only the heavier duty Chevy chassis ... the 4500 chassis instead of the 3500 chassis. The 4500 chassis will have the big 57 gallon gas tank for a great long range between fillups when traveling ... plus plenty of fuel on board when camped for running the built-in generator to provide air conditioing during expected or unexpected hot weather.
- The heavier duty Chevy chassis will also provide superior brake service and life because the brakes will be larger.
- The heavier duty Chevy chassis will also allow you to travel with all tanks full if you wish with no over-weight concerns.
- Do all the cabinet doors have gravity locks so they'll never fly open on the open road?
- Do alll the cabinet doors slide on steel tracks?
- Is the water pump easy to get at?
- Are the grey and black tank valves connected to their handles by cables or steel rods? Steel rods is best.
- Can you disconnect the RV batteries with an easy to reach switch by the coach door?
- Does it come with a spare tire?
- Is the battery box big enough for either two 6V golf cart batteries, or two 12V Group 31 batteries?
- Is the roof one piece fiberglass and does it roll over the upper edge of the walls all along each side ... for long term protection against leaks?
- Does it have at least two roof vents and does one of them contain a 3-speed reversible fan?
- Are the electrical hookup cables and sewage valve access areas in an enclosed cabinet?
- Is the refrigerator 2-way propane/electric powered, or only an electric powered "residential type" refrigerator?
- How is the cabover area built such that it will - for all practical purposes - "never leak"?
- Does the passenger cab seat swivel to face the rear?
- Does the coach contain at lot of 120V receptacles and 12V receptacles?
- Are the outside storage cabinets' walls and floors steel or fiberglass?
- Are the cab mirrors powered and heated?
- Does the coach have a manual or automatic step?
