What great ideas.
Thanks for sharing.
 
Basement pullout drawers in dead space.
I custom ordered (www.barkerdoor.com) the pullout drawers with a clearcoat finish to the width, height and depth to fit my basement openings. By ordering the "pullout drawers" on their website you get the Bluemotion Soft-Closing hardware already mounted on the drawer. Not cheap to custom order ($450 delivered) so you may want to build your own shelves or drawers but this option was best for me. It took about 5 weeks to receive the drawers from Barker Door. Then I went to Lowe's and purchased the aluminum angle iron to build the framing. In spite of my hatred of self tapping screws I found in this project they worked for me (I'm sure someone at Newmar would smile!). I had to relocate a few wires and the basement door closing sensors but it wasn't too difficult. Anyway, I love the shelves as they are very functional and it takes advantage of the "dead space" in the basement.

They look great Steve. Did you pay $450 for two drawers?
 
Yes, that was the total for both.
 
We finally ordered our DS 4081 and put in some specials.

KA Flooring
NA Backsplash
Hardwood Door
Vent the Microwave
Switched to a different DS counter (They charge for everything as you all know...)
Special Exterior Color

We're not too techie so we left all the outlets etc. as is. Should be good. More than the Canyon Star and that seemed to be OK.

Can't wait for late February, early March!
 
Thanks to this thread I was able to change the bedroom door in our New Aire order to all wood. We had changed the display hutch cabinet to all wood as a special, but forgot the bedroom door. So glad I saw this thread!
Other specials included:
- Conduit from the front ODS cabinet to the roof
- 110 outlet by the toilet (for bidet install at later date)
- 110 outlet and extra puck lights in wardrobe
- double hanging rods in ODS side of wardrobe
- extra overhead light over dinette table
- microwave vented to outside
- LADP shower fixture ILO of standard
- 110 outlets in basement bays 2, 4, 1 (essentially all four corners of basement)
 
Bumping this thread to those that ordered Newmars. Share your ideas, what got accepted, what got denied, pricing, anything you want to share. A great feature of ordering a Newmar is customization. I wasn't aware of it when I ordered mine so I missed out. Learn from others, share info, etc.

For anyone doing special colors, you can order a panel with your color selection from the Parts Department at Newmar for $300 so you can verify your colors on metal versus a computer screen.... well worth the $300!!!
