2018 DX3 Brochure

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new 2018 DX3 37TS. In the mean time I have been surfing the internet. I found Dynamax has posted the 2018 DX3 brochure. I have a couple of questions:

What type of Chassis batteries does the DX3 37TS have?
What are the insulation R rating for the roof, walls and floor?
Is there a built in Surge Guard?
Is the electrical multiplex?
With the rear camera and new radio head. Can you monitor you "toad" while driving down the road?
With the 2 way refrigerator is there also a pantry?
In the 37TS have you added more drawers in the bedroom? The 2017 only has two under the TV.

Thanks for updating the brochure!!! It was hard to visualize what the 2018 would be like when you only had a 2016 brochure to look at.

1. Batteries are 4D AGM. Dekka I think is the brand...although they are build by East Penn.
2. Insulation ratings are a joke (no offense intended). I used to design modular commercial buildings and to do heat loss/heat gain calculations the wall R-value had to include glazing area and whether that area was dual pane, low-e, etc. So, what you see posted by mfg's is max R-value assuming ZERO windows. So one unit with a high R-value, might actually have a lower overall R-Value than another with a lower rating because of the glass. (So, now that we have that out of the way) The walls would be R-10+. We use the thickest fiberglass used on RV's and we use a heavier 2lb density block foam, plus all the windows are dual pane. The roof is crowned and we actually lay in R-11 batt insulation. Floor is R10 or greater as well, as it uses the same 2lb block foam as the walls. Plus, the block foam R-value actually varies by temperature. So some people will quote the HIGHEST R-value, but that R-Value might be at 12 degrees....when at 90 degrees it is a lower number.
3. Surge guard is in there.
4. Not on the TS. We're working on that now. The RB is because we designed the Dynaquest XL first and did not want separate harnesses. So the DX3 37RB got multiplex as well.
5. Yes. The new XITE system has a dedicated "Camera" button. Just hit the button and it will show the rear camera image.
6. TS has a pantry.
7. I think it still just has the two drawers because the water tank is in the lower section. We would have to move it into the bed base and I think it is too tall.

Brian,
Does the '18 Force have more foot room around the bed? Looked at a '17 in Ft Myers but couldn't get around the bed easily. Hoping this in is better in '18.
