Question What options on New RV that end up never used?

[newmarokie]

And the central vacuum

 

[sanda]

Outdoor TV has never been used.
Bedroom TV was never used, so I removed it and put a jewelry board in for my wife.
The Sat/Internet “system” is installed, no Dish.
We use an internet hotspot that works perfectly for anything we need.

As long as you have cell service all the time

And the central vacuum

The central vac is one option I use daily. With all the hair from two long haired dogs and all the dirt they track in, I sweep the coach at least twice a day and having the central vac inlet in the middle of the coach makes the job quick and easy. I also use it to vacuum out the basement compartments as there is also an inlet there.

A few more things that I did not order
Wifi system - What's weird is an unnamed salesperson at transwest told me, you cannot use the rv without buying one of the wifi options, the systems run on wifi (they also said that if you do not order the chrome handles, you do not get fob opening storage doors) Both not true.
Central Vacuum - (Comes standard on my order) A waste, bulky and cumbersome. By the time you get the hose and tools out, I have finished vacuuming with my Dyson Stick
Storage freezer/fridge - We have a huge residential fridge, why spend $3,500 plus for a glorified cooler. I did order the prep so I have 110 and 12v plug handy
Nav - as stated its horrible but it was not an option, it was a standard on my order

It’s funny how one man’s useless option is another’s savior. I’m talking about dishwashers @sheridany.

Dishwasher. How many have used their dishwasher. I used it once in my last bus. The dishwasher was omitted in the production build of the current bus. I don’t miss it.

Well, we never would have ordered one but our current coach came with one.

Now that we are full time, it is a great thing to have and use it all the time.

Had we stayed traveling the way we did prior to retirement it would have been storage probably.

True.
We don’t boondock at all and as of this time, have never been in a campground with no cell service.

Same with central vac - I use it daily but I rarely use the hose kit, so I guess its just an expensive dust pan, but I still like it and if I ordered a new coach (very doubtful at this point) I’d include it again.

Thanks for the reminder, I use a Dyson and don't use the central vac as the hoses and tools take up too much room whereas the Dyson breaks down and stores in my AV compartment.

 

[newmarokie]

Neemer, you are exactly right. My wife uses the dishwasher regularly. We have not turned on two of the TVs. We use the stationary starlink and dish. And hotspots. Rich, I guess use just open the port and broom everything to it?

Heat pads for the holding tanks are an option I’ve never used. Its probably best to have them but in the four years I’ve owned this coach, I’ve never turned them on. Also while I like the central vac, I just noticed that its now $1300! Triple what it was in 2020.

Whats weird is the vacuum is now standard on a superstar. I do not even want it. They should make heat pads and security lights a standard not the vacuum

An option I have on my current bus should be standard on all coaches. Patio lights built into the rear cap. Whether you are backing up in the dark, unhooking the toad, or working in the engine compartment they have proven to be very helpful every time.

I added these to mine. Also LED side lights up front. I don’t like arriving at night but when I do I like to be able to see what I’m doing. Factory back up lights are nearly useless.

 

[newmarokie]

Rich the backup light. Did run power to the dash for on off,or do you get power up from the engine compartment?
