Coach Net was given to us with the 3050 for the first year, but on our old RV we used Good Sam. The TV was standard with ours. We love the fantastic fan, brings in a lot of cool air and more quiet then the air conditioner.

TV is only standard on the 3010 Sunseeker and 3011 Forester. Optional on all others, which I don't like (since we're at about 99% TV's optioned), so I will probably change that to a standard item soon.

Sorry, since it was in our 3050 when we bought it, I just thought it was standard, goes to show you, nothing should ever be assumed. Anyway we love our TV. Thanks for clarifying that.

Well, then it WAS standard to you

And you're partly right, it should just be standard.

Added it so it is now standard on the one for us, that is unless you make it standard and I don't need to option it!

What size mattress is on the upper bunk and the sofa? Twin? Full? In the 3051.
Thanks!

West Cactus I would say the upper bunk is about a queen size and sofa folds into twin. If you want I can give you exact size in inches just have to go to HM in driveway and measure.

West Cactus The upper bunk is 55" wide and flat portion is 80" long then there is a 15" portion that kicks up at 45 degrees ( makes like a head prop to read in bed) the sofa is 40" wide and 68" long with the two arm rests removed. ( they just pull up to remove them)We don't use fitted sheets, just flats and blanket.Also no mattress topper. Hopes that helps

Just a heads up, the 2015's should be 60x80 in the upper bunk.

Have you made them 5" wider in the 2015's from the 2014's

Depends on what you mean. The bed wider? yes. The coach wider? No.

The 80" portion runs the width of the motorhome, and that has not changed. We changed the nose cap on the 2015's (and some 2014's) to be more aerodynamic so that gave us some more room.

Any other changes to the 2015 from the 2014? Thanks. I should wait to get it before anymore purchases for it!

That's not an easy question to answer. I have posted on here before that most of our changes are running changes. We make the changes when we can, in anticipation that all of them are done by time the 15's roll out. So 14's may have some 15 changes. Other than cosmetic changes there have not been anything earth shattering. We also do a mid model year update to further complicate things

Always moving forward.

I guess the 2015 does not have the 15" section that comes up at a 45 degree angle to read in bed or I am not sure how to make it come up.

Correct. We changed the windows on the 2015's so that is just a flat area now. No raised area. Window was too low for that.

Hi I am new in this forum, and planning to buy a 2015 3011ds, currently researching on price and options.

From one of the dealer site, I saw a 2015 with new "Silver" color full body paint, and interior color (Spice) that was previously only available in Sunseeker.

bclemens, is that real or just the dealer mixed up photos.

If that is real what other NEW 2015 color choice out there.

Thanks
