- Two satellite dishes. One for in motion viewing and one huge dish for stationary viewing.
- Digital antenna for over the air viewing of local programming.
- Cable TV hookup (no picture required)
- Four big screen flat TVs (one is outdoors, hidden behind a locking panel).
- Heated floors throughout
(Exaggerated slightly for easier viewing)
- Bath and a half
Half bath
Leslie’s bath
- Two recliner chairs
- Sofa bed with Queen mattress
- Full dinette which seats six people
- Wide-plank barn wood floors (actually ceramic).
- Dishwasher
- Microwave/Convection oven
- Induction stove top for instant cooking with steel pots and pans
- Diesel furnace and hot water heater with limitless hot water.
- Three 15,000 BTU Air Conditioners. They are the quietest ones I’ve ever encountered.
- King Sized Sleep Number master bed.
- Three slide out rooms
- Cedar closet
- Tons of storage both in and under the coach.
- A 605 horsepower Cummins engine.
- A 12.5 kilowatt Onan generator
- Computerized cruise control which accelerates, slows down and even stops depending on the behavior of the vehicle ahead. This one is far more complex than what you might see on a newer car.
- Steerable tag axle. (It’s strange to look in the rear view mirror and see the rear axle actually turning!). This makes this 45 footer maneuver like a smaller coach.
- We are so tall that there are 7 steps from the ground level to the floor of the coach.
There are more steps inside...
- We have two refrigerator/freezers.
- We have a camera system which shows every conceivable view from the coach. Literally 360 degrees all around, as if there was a drone hovering overhead at all times sending complete views to a large screen in the coach.
- We actually have a feature which auto-fills the fresh water tank when we are attached to a water supply.
- There is the SilverLeaf control system which monitors and controls countless systems 7/24/365.
- We have 10 AGM batteries. We could power a small city easily.
- All windows, including the windshield, have two sets of shades...day shades which we can see through but keep the hot sun out, and blackout night shades. All shades are motorized and remote controlled.
- There are two large awnings on the passenger side of the coach.
- Heated, reclining, swiveling, footrest chairs for both pilot and copilot. The copilot’s chair is 30% wider which allows the resident Westies to share the seat with their Mom. The copilot seat also has an attached writing desk which folds away when not in use.
- We have more lights than Las Vegas. Thankfully the lights are LED, because I wouldn’t want to have to change all of them.
And of course, there is a built in washer dryer to keep Leslie away from the laundromats.
... and Leslie says I never get her anything...
Oh, and did I mention tires? We have eight of them and no spare tire at all. They are ginormous and weigh at least 209 pounds apiece .
Double D’s (aka Diesel Dan) insured that our delivery day went off without even a tiny blip. Given the extraordinary complexity of our new baby, it’s amazing that everything worked exactly as it should have. The diesel tanks and the DEF tank were full! The coach had been detailed so well it could have been in a pro photo shoot.
...the Queen glistens, DD shines...
Okay, enough with this eternally boring pre-game show, as we say in the motor coaching game...”Let’s Roll”.
First stop, Naples...
