Dx3 bunk over cab

Would there be any way to put a bunk over the cab on a dx3?

Working on that option as I type. We're 99% sure we can put the Force HD cap on a DX3.

$5250 we think will be the suggested retail.

It would have to be done at the factory. Correct?

It would be just like a Force HD. Goes on a powered swing arm.

Factory only?

This is a great option.
I am dealing on a force bh and a dx3rb.

I would rather the short slide of the dx3. But need a place for the boy to sleep. Not making the couch or table up every night.

If you look at the "right side" picture, in the back corner is a spot for a receiver.

Factory only To do that in the field...you'd be looking more like $15,000.

Let me clarify too...that suggested retail price was as an option from the factory. To take a stock unit and change after the fact would be much more.

If that has a overhead bunk, it would be perfect.

The bunkhouse slide, takes away so much room on the camp side, but theres really no other option.

I guess ill go back to looking at the Force bunk house deal...

Would a dx3 with a bunk not just be the same as a force hd 37rb?

DX3 is also solid hardwood cabinetry throughout, samsung electronics, Thetford Sanicon Turbo, 3,000 watt inverter, multiplex wiring with touch screen control (coming in 2017), roof mounted awnings.

At some point I'll compile a full list.

Multiplex!? Will that be on my 2017 that's slated for May/june? That would be wonderful

All the Dyanquest models are multiplex...so we're trying to scale that into the DX3 as well, but it is a long tedious engineering process. Right now all the 37RB's are multiplex. We would like to change over the rest but it will be late 2017 model year if not 2018.
