I offered my wife $5 for every “new” change they’ve made over our 2019.

Cost me $20.

I got off cheap.

I'm not sure how many changes there are, what were the 4 she got? Full tile shower, larger bays, bigger tanks, larger windows, different furniture manufacturer, built in TPMS, supposedly more accurate tank sensors, Samsung TV's, heated hatch cover, bigger dual use Dometic R/F, push to release pantry shelves, better Bose sound bar, or soft close drawers? There may be others, those come to mind immediately.
Yes, I have one on order.

There are small changes, some of which are incidental, ie. LED security lights, Samsung vs Sony, tilt TV bracket; I don't care about those, nor the "options" like the Dometic, flagpole, etc.

Some of the changes had to do with it being a FL chassis, which were substantial. The biggest being the cockpit controls, which are markedly different, Ultrasteer w/more steer angle, rear filters, air force. Trans and Brake, Headlight controls are all on stalks which I think is a huge safety plus.

Some of these were changed in 2020, keep in mind.

Some other changes I see:
Wet Bay improvements with SS backing and different shower
ATS power monitor
Gas struts for hood
KIB panel control for A/C & Heat thermostat



On your list:
different furniture manufacturer VILLA
built in TPMS
Samsung TV's
heated hatch cover
push to release pantry shelves
soft close drawers
bigger tanks black and gray


Not sure about these...
supposedly more accurate tank sensors
bigger dual use Dometic R/F
better Bose sound bar ???
Full tile shower solid, not tiled
larger bays ???
larger windows ???

Watch Angies review, she points out that the bays are 2 inches taller. They decreased the ground clearance by 2 inches, hence bigger bays. In the review she shows the dual compartment Dometic it grew to 3 cf. Look at the window behind the recliners, it is standard now. I was told all the windows are larger, I don't know dimensions. Shower looks tiled, can't swear to it, but its nicer with the storage shelves and small shelf for women to shave their legs. "Happy wife, Happy life". The 9" monitors are a "big" improvement... yes intended....again I was told the sensors are more accurate in the new tanks. There are heavier duty axles on both chassis, 19K on Freightliner and 20K on Spartan. Personally, I love the idea of Gas struts on the hood!
This started out by asking which 4 changes your wife got....just curious to see which changes registered with a woman.
