Well I think my 2024 Wrangler is about 4,375 lbs ... so this might not work for me. Will have to wait till they publish more information.

My 2022 Sport Altitude Wrangler with a full tank of fuel weighed 4680 lbs on the CAT Scale.

Anyone have information as to how the dealer sales went at the meeting?

No info on overall sales but some anecdotal information…

Email from North Trail that they have 2026 Super Cs coming in. Looked at the Super C Newmars and they still have new 24’s on the lot not sold yet.

Given this all runs on RV-C (similar to CAN-bus) one "should" be able to mix/match components on the network given every module has to comply with the published standards for that type of device (i.e. shades, ACs, tank sensors, etc.). I would think we could leave what we wanted to with existing SilverLeaf modules and swap out what we wanted to with the new private labeled ATC modules. An upgraded new main control panel and mobile phone app experience would be ideal...

Newmar!!! Hello? You listening?

So, I've read on another forum (sorry all--I cheated) that Newmar has said "no" to this. I also received this directly from ATC:

Unfortunately, our agreement with Newmar does not allow for any aftermarket customization and any changes to any of their existing or prior model year coaches needs to go through Newmar and if they decide to make a change, then they would request it directly through ATC. So, you will need to direct your question sto Newmar sales at this point.

I get the stock corporate-speak answer, but it is disappointing. Especially given that Tiffin allowed folks to upgrade their main Spyder control panels back when I owned their coach. In the past, SilverLeaf was also allowed to upgrade Essex owners on pre-SilverLeaf systems. Might be time for folks to fire up that myeRVin.com – Enhancing RV Integrated Networks project again to create a 3rd party main screen control panel and remote wifi / internet mobile device access with a contemporary (and easy to navigate) user experience.

Best,
