Know this is nitpicky, but move the switch panel in the kitchen (Ventana Models) out to the end of the cabinet on the side, so people with short arms can reach those switches. It is now in a place the BH cannot get too, especially when slide is out, as that is the deepest point of the counter.
Move the thermostat to the main inside wall so it's central to the coach. The temp sensor/clock is on that wall, move it there. This may be only in the Ventana models. Realize that in the NA and others the dometic thermostat is not an item, it's integrated into Silverleaf in NA, don't know about DS.
It would seem to me, that if some components/features are common across all diesel lines, this would cut down on costs of parts and the labor to install them in different places on every model. I could be wrong about this. And my main complaint is the quality of the sub-components purchased, many if not all made in China, move to better built components, made in the USA, YES, that will cost more, but it would put more Americans to work, and ensure that gotchas dont happen as often. I can give example if necessary.
