Has anyone heard any more or have they made changes to any of the floor plans.

It also appears they may have improved the quality control process.

Thanks for the insight! There's no way we can buy one of these though. Round sink??? What were they thinking? I'd have to replace our perfect little Camco dish pan that fits in our sink, with some round substitute that would never fit as well. There is NO way I'm parting with my dish pan. Some people are great cooks, I'm a great dishwasher. So it sounds good-looking and some otherwise nice new features, but thanks for saving me the trouble of going to look at these Smile

One can only hope they have improved the quality control process but don't hold your breath and bet the bank on it. It sounds to me like just allot of bells and ringer visual improvements. My hope is they dump the terrible WFCO converter and upgrade the Dometic refrigerator to a model that allows you to use the optional battery pack in the control panel. That would be two quality improvements that wouldn't cost much at all and be worth any small additional increase in price.
