Finally back in the office. Floor plan turned out better than expected. TONS of interior living space. The full wall slide is really light (due to no appliances). Weight is almost perfectly balanced with the slide IN or OUT with the propane tank and bath location. This was the hit of the show. We'll have one at the Tampa Super Show to look at...but won't start hitting dealer lots until Feb.

PS.
Came in about 60lbs lighter than the 24R, but on paper will have slightly less carrying capacity than the 24R due to a 5th seatbelt. Just a hair more in price than the 24S.

Does the bed fold up when the slide comes in? I really like that design, allot of room in small space. Especially like the fact the bed is a walk around.

bclemens, do you have pictures of the bed with the slide in? I'm curious to see it folded up.
btw, this floorplan looks pretty awesome.

No sofa option yet...we'll see about that.
2. No...its the same bed as the 24R, 2500, etc. The foot part stays put, the back/headboard sections goes up and over like a ramp.

Brian, that is a beautiful layout. I like it even better than 24R - more spacious, U-dinette, and an extra table in the front (standard?). February delivery is perfect for us.
One question, since you didn't take a picture of the headboard of the bed, is there a window behind it? We are not crazy about the window behind the bed because the blinds make it very uncomfortable to lean against while reading or watching TV. Having several windows in the back, perhaps this one isn't necessary, unless you can use a removable hard cover over the window.
Great job!

1. there is a window instead of a headboard. That is required by code, because there has to be an emergency exit in the bedroom. With the slide in, the rear window is partially covered. We tried that one first.
2. The blind issue is now solved. We have switched to roller shades on ALL the Sprinters being built now.

Thanks, it was a team effort.
And those pictures do not do justice to the amount of floor space in this one. We had 9-10 people in there at many times during the day. Slide is 34" deep.

With the slide out the interior space looks a lot like a Class A with a sofa/dinette slide. I am impressed. Good job! I design bathrooms for a living an know how challenging small spaces can be to layout if your intention is to maximize functionality and looks. I would like to try my hand at MH layout sometime.

A few more observations/questions:
The cabinets over dinette are gone. Is it an option to have them? With cabinets gone, is the window larger? I love a large window.
Are both tables provided or just one that moves around?
Is the dinette top rectangular that can be turned 90 degree?
Now the rear does not slide out backward, is there more space for a roof ladder? Would it be an option?
Any possibility to have two armrests for front seats like some other motorhomes?
Is the wall next to dinette a better space for TV now?
With one slide instead of two, is price lower than 24R?

A. it's an all new floor plan, so the cabinets were never there to begin with. The window is bigger than both of the existing floor plans. No option for cabinets.
Are both tables provided or just one that moves around?
A. Not sure what you mean here. What both tables? Cocktail table & dinette table? If so..those are completely different sizes and both included.
Is the dinette top rectangular that can be turned 90 degree?
A. Yes
Now the rear does not slide out backward, is there more space for a roof ladder? Would it be an option?
A. There is more space, but the skylight over the bath is in the way as well as the window. I think engineering is looking at some ladder options.
Any possibility to have two armrests for front seats like some other motorhomes?
A. No. That is a Mercedes stock seat. "Other" units are typically aftermarket Class A seats.
Is the wall next to dinette a better space for TV now?
A. better than?
With one slide instead of two, is price lower than 24R?
A. Yes. Will be just a bit more than 24S.
