Newbie here and first up - thanks for such an awesome thread. I made sure to read all 75 pages first before posting my question and made so many notes of all the tips.
I know you'll need a little context before I ask my questions. I plan to full time in my RV. I will eventually travel coast to coast, but my heart lies in the Northwest and Southwest - very snowbird like. I don't need TV, but I do need to be able to run my computer gear (web developer and writer) as I'm still working on the road. I prefer the smaller 25' rig, so the 23A from Cruise America or something 25-ish from El Monte. I want to enjoy the driving, so good handling is important (and something I end up paying if wasn't there i guess). Safety also for me is a priority. I will not be towing a car at this point, although possible a scooter or electric bike on the back - or simply driving my rig into town. While I am willing to learn on this new adventure, I currently have limited knowledge and abilities for DIY, so I will need to pay to have upgrades and fixes done.
With that out of the way - here's my questions...
1.) With the CA 23A, am I able to add a backup camera easily? Am I limited to just a wireless one?
2.) Can automatic leveling be adding to a coach that doesn't have them already?
3.) Is there room in the CA 23A to add in an inverter and additional batteries / solar? (please feel free to point me to another thread as I know this isn't about solar - lol)
4.) I understand that the units at El Monte might have more of these features already, as they are more production line models - but there is barely any inventory showing on the site. Is there a certain time of year that I would find more inventory at El Monte?
5.) When buying from CA or El Monte, what are my options for getting service and/or parts upgrades, new things like a backup camera added, etc.? Do I have to go to just their rental facilities?
I don't want to go to long on this post, and thank you in advance for your replies :-)
