Looking to purchase 2019 Isata 3 24CB
Any comments concerning purchasing a 2019 Isata 3 24 CB? Dynamax is no longer manufacturing this model so they are hard to find; however, I did find one that includes solar and levelers, two options that I will not do without, including Alcoa wheels. I compared the few to the cb and feel that the cb has more pluses, one of which is more storage. I know the corner bed is smaller, but it also has a sofa that configures into a bed, if we need our space. So any comments concerning purchasing a Dynamax?

I have the 24FW and the CB looks like a 24FW with half a slide and a full time bed that doesn’t require a slide to be extended. I think when they introduced it there just was not enough demand for a full time bed option that requires you to crawl across the bed rather than a walk around. The rest of the CB looks just like an FW model which is their most popular floor plan.
I have had zero issues with my 2 1/2 year old Dynamax. I don’t think you could go wrong if the CB layout meets your needs.

The CB was length as well...Mercedes reduced the length of overall unit (without pre-approval), so in going to the new 19 chassis we did what we could first and then had to wait for approval on the longer unit (25'). Which we have now.
having said that, some people fear the corner bed. However ours, being on the driver side gave the whole bottom to climb off of when the slide is out, unlike others that only give a tiny corner. It is a WAY better CB design.

Thank you for your replies. I have read some bad reviews, but I have also read bad reviews about our 2041R and have had zero issues. We’re just looking to move into a MH that does not have a step-up. What is more, the B.C. has plenty of storage and two beds. If there were twin beds, that would be even better. Excited to test drive this rig. I hope that my husband likes it because he is the driver—not that I am incapable. He doesn’t feel comfortable when towing Luigi—our 2016 Pop Fiat—which, by the way, is a perfect tow vehicle. Set the RVIA brake, put it in neutral, and you’re ready to go.

What’s the step up your referring to?
We’ve been very very pleased with our Dynamax, very few issues and great factory support.

The step-up refers to step that you have to take up to the rear slide out bedroom. I believe for Dynamax it is the 24RW. Although it gives you a lot of underneath storage, it can be treacherous at night if you don’t keep the aisle lights on at night. The drop off occurs right at the edge of the sink. It steps down to the bathroom. I have fallen four times. Now I make sure the aisle lights are lit. I haven’t fallen since. I just don’t like that transition.

Access to the bed is good with the slide open, as was already pointed out. But, the OP seems aware that the bed is narrow. The floor plan I saw showed a 50” wide bed, which is not a queen, not even a full, but 4” narrower than a full size. It will be cozy.
One thing I like about the CB, is that is has adequate cabinet space, which some other floor plans do not.

Yes, cozy. However, the couch converts into a nicely sized bed and lounge area. What I like most about it is the abundance of storage. We always need storage. Still processing and made an appointment to take a test drive.
