Which option did you not get on your Georgetown that you wish you had?

Mine has the optional convection oven and they deleted the traditional oven. Convection not the best thing to use as far as size. I'd have been happier with traditional oven and over stove microwave with exhaust vent to outside. I guess this is a matter of someone's personal preference.

Ours has every option except euro chair. Wish we had it so could move it around as desired or remove it when more room wanted on certain trips. Would lose a seatbelt chair location if that's important to you.

I have a 350 with three slides and I wish I had got the 4 th slide. It is not an option but I wish it had the pickup diesel, lots more power!

If you buy a XL model you get lots of options you don't get in a regular Georgetown model. Better compartments and locks, double pane windows, increased height inside, real paint job and not stickers, 22.5" tires with aluminum rims, heated mirrors, better driver and passenger chairs. I think now the XL has a Black Diamond models that come with higher quality cabinets. Also it's great to get the larger 15K AC unit up front than the standard 13.5K
My model and year has the large gas or electric Dometic refrigerator 4 door with ice maker and water in the door. I like it better than the residential as I use propane while driving and don't count on converting battery power. If you have any issues with your coach batteries over time it will limit the refrigerator usage dry camping and travelling all day.

I'm with GABoy...The only option I wish my 328TS had is the euro chair in lieu of the barrel chair. DW and I really don't need an additional seatbelt, but sure could use another comfy seat for TV watching in the evenings.

I wish I have a convection/microwave instead of just the microwave. Hell if anyone would like to trade out let me know.

Ours was a show model and came with every available option except strangely enough the drop down bunk and 15k btu AC's.
We don't really have a need for the front bunk but it would have been nice for storage while parked. The standard airconditioners have been fine but I'm sure the larger ones would have been a little better.
Love the residential fridge, driving all day is not an issue as the high output alternator provides enough power to run it without any battery drain. I also like having the regular oven as well as the convection microwave as I do most of the cooking and like using the old fashioned oven.
My wife did comment this morning that she really doesn't like that ledge on the side of the bed and one day wants to upgrade to an XL model with more slides and the black diamond package.

Drop down front bed
Came out just after we bought our 378. Really nice of the grandkids, and extra storage as mentioned above. Would allow us to replace the sofa/air bed with dual reclining sofa, which would be much more comfortable than the euro chair. Other than that, we have been very happy with our Georgetown. Service in Elkhart has been wonderful.

After years of RVing we bought every option that was available on our 378. If you have a question as to "if" you would want that option believe me at some time you will wish you had it. It's not that much more to completely load out your Motorhome considering what your paying anyway so go for it, you will be glad you did.,

I have the Euro chair, and while it is comfortable to sit in, unfortunately it also has the same lousy fake leather as the sofa that quickly deteriorates.

Funny, have had my 378 for 4 years and live in it 6 months each year. The euro chair, in fact all of the upholstered interior has held up quite well. Very happy with it. Have seen complaints on interior wear from various folks but have not seen it yet in ours.

Hmmmmm. We got every option available with the exception of the outside TV, which I don't miss. (euro chair, 2x15 AC's, home theater, pull-out tray, res fridge, microwave/convection + oven, fantastic fan)
Things I do wish I had
Dishwasher
the new home stereo option, where it's not in the dash
front speakers (only have the 4 in the back)
dash cupholder thingy
roller shades in the front windows (vs the accordian ones)
Would like to make a change on the TV in the bedroom - mount it on one of those swing out door style mounts to use the dead space behind it.
But, all fairly minor in the scheme of things....biggest "to do" is to replace the speakers and add the new ones to the front. And maybe the roller shades....

The only thing I wish I had were heat pumps instead of heat strips.
We have everything else you can get
Black diamond package
Washer/dryer combo
Oven
Convection/microwave
Full body paint
Residential refridge (we rarely dry camp and my wife's wish)
I replace the front TV from a 40" to 42" (40" TV went bad after 2 weeks)
Installed a home stereo blue ray 5.1 system and Direct HDTV receiver (I like my movies and HD TV)
We love our 378XL

I would probably opt for more cup holders. Other than that the unit has everything that we want.

double pane windows would be the biggest, but we bought used for a great price, so I guess I can't complain.
