Well, we spent the entire day at the factory and did not encounter a single owner, new owner, or wanna-bee - how discouraging!  I think someone has a delivery scheduled for tomorrow, so perhaps we'll get meet some newbies!  Vince is taking good care of our rig - mostly paint issues.  We dropped off our sofa cushion at Butterfields this morning and picked it up this afternoon with some super new high quality foam in it.  What a difference!  Things should be wrapped up tomorrow and we can resume our "round-the-country" trek.

Visited the Mothership on Thursday 5/12/11.  Asked the following questions of Todd and received the following answers:

Q - Any plans to use the Sprinter chassis?
 A -  No.  Not enough weight carrying capacity and Mercedes dealers don't want to work on them.

Q - What about the V-10 in the 24 footer?

A - Most people pay the upgrade for the V-10.

Q - What about the Ford Eco engines?

A - We'll know when Ford ships them in the Ford E-chassis.

Q - Can one eliminate the TV in the 24 footer?
 A - Sure, but you won't get a bigger cabinet on that side.  You'll just have the TV opening.
 Q - Could one eliminate the genset and get extra coach batteries instead?

A - You can eliminate the genset but we won't reduce the price.
 On a personal note, after looking at the 24 footer, the 27's and the 31, we decided the 24 is still the rig for us [we've had two different 22 footers over the years and just like that size and layout for the two of us].
