2017/18 Isata 3 Questions for BClemens

Saw a 2017 Isata 3 at the Chicago RV show last weekend - like it. Have a few questions;

What brand of leveling jack system (optional I know) are you installing on the 2018 models? Where physically on the chassis are the 4 hydraulic leveling jacks mounted? What is the max stroke in inches of the physical cylinder?

What is in the cavity under the queen bed on FW model (between accessible storage area at bed front and outside bin)? Is there additional/accessible storage there?

Is a one-piece molded front cap in the works for overhead bunk version?

Will 2018s have a 110V plug mounted in closet next to bed (I'm a CPAP user)? If so, would be ideal if setup on inverter circuit for boondocking. :-)

1. We use equalizer jacks currently. They use the SL 4/13 on all Class C's (Ford and Sprinter) which gives you 13" of stroke length.
2. They have to be bolted to the chassis. The front jacks are on the frame rail right behind the wheels as I recall. On the back, they used to be installed up by the rear wheels, but have been moved further back to section of the frame that widens out.
3. There is no cavity. Its deception because of the slide depth, but you get storage at the foot of the bed and the other half is outside storage. (see picture)
4. It is not. We're two piece (see picture) because that gives us more flexibility with windows, nose length of we ever want to change and cost of repair is substantially less if you have an issue.
5. We typically have 12VUSB and 110V outlets available on both side of the bed base.
