Hey all-
We just spent the weekend looking at what feels like 1000 different 5th wheels and the 3150RL is at the top of our list. I do have some question, that I hope other forum members can answer or ideally a representative from Heartland. Here's my list:
1) Is it possible to order a partial generator prep. I'd like the have the switch over but intend to use a portable generator and put a marine outlet upfront to plug it in. So what I don't need is the generator enclosure installed. (or does the load limit increase such that we should get it?)
2) Storage above the head. We noticed there is only a little shelf above the head, is it possible to order a matching cabinet for up there? We're not big fans of open shelving in the RV
3) Carpet brand and color, wood color and stain, exterior paint colors. Does the factory provide the manufacture and specifications for these things? We would like to buy a matching piece of carpet for the living area, possible do some small wood work (see #1) and like to fill scratches after I make them...
4) The awful fake wanna be marble gray laminate in the fireplace and back of island. I was surprised to see such a low rent move here compared to last year. Its reall the only "fake" material in the trailer. Can we order without it ? Matching wood would be ideal.
5) We are considering a stackable washer and vented dryer. Local dealer says they would need to do the vent install. Does having the deal do the vent installation void any warranty for the trailer. For example, due to a less than professional installation.
6) Both the heat pump and bathroom fan options say "Ask dealer". My dealer had no information. Is the heat pump a different 1 or 2 Coleman units up top? Does it replace the propane furnace? Is the bathroom fan upgrade a bidirectional fantastic fan ?
7) Elongated Toilet, we currently have the dometic 320 and would like the same in this coach? Dealer installation I assume ?
8) Can we order 2 additional non-folding chairs? How does one go about that?
9) MCD shades- In the 2018 are they night-only shades or day/night? We saw a mix of trailers and the dealer was not sure what the 2018 would have, if night only, are day shared available?
10) What is the "yeti" extreme weather package and what is included?
11) RVIA/CSA/State seals- Is there any legal requirement to purchase these in the US or for traveling to Canada?
12) 1 1/4 Accessory receiver? What is the weight limit of the receiver when factory installed?
13) Rear Camera prep: Is it wired into the backup lights intended to come on and off in reverse or are the wires 100% hot all the time?
14) What brand is the theater seating? Will the 2018 continue to come with the electric/heated/massage theater seats when that option is ordered?
15) G rated tires? What brand?
I think that may be it for now. (I'm sure I will have additional questions when we take a second look later this week)
