Thanks Phil -- since we are still in the shopping phase, I am at a disadvantage of not having a Birkie parked outside to check
Thanks for the info on slide switch location. I was already thinking Data Closet
So, the bottom line is, Berkies all come with Slide Locks. I can remove that bullet from the list.

Rich,
A bit confused - central storage door locking? As in an electronic lock?
(if so, ya betcha that would be expensive!
)
With the exception of the larger tanks and smart wheel (I have no idea what a smart wheel costs but could it be that much?) most of the other things are re-wickering floorplan layouts and fluid intake ports. The Emergency Exit Door could be made by re-purposing a medium-size storage door.
The TPMS, WasteMaster, Keyless Door, Power Reels & HDTV Antenna all retail for a total of @ $1800 (so FR cost would be @ $900)
The larger tanks they could obtain from the product line used by XLR or Vengeance (assuming they would fit the frame) so the cost should not be that signifiant.
I know one Berkshire owner that "insulated" their manifold by putting in a small infared heater - so I would imagine strategically placed XX Watt infared lamps in the manifold & some beefed up insulation would take care of the cold weather insulation of the manifold.
So, given that the mods could all be done for less than probably $2K, they would probably boost the MSRP $10K
