Michael:
 We just ordered a new one last week.  As near as I can tell, new changes are as follows:

1.  Heated/power cab mirror option has red LED turn arrows built in.

2.  Restyled rear fender skirts with smoother appearance.

3.Lifeline maintenance free AGM batteries for coach batteries,

3.Lifeline maintenance free AGM batteries for coach batteries, in lieu of old Trojans. (still 225 amp-hrs.)
That was one of my suggestions I made to Steve last year, tho I doubt it was my letter that influenced him.

It is my understanding that AGM batteries require a three-stage charger, so I am guessing they will be using one.

Let us know about that when you take delivery Gus.

I corresponded with Lifeline about this issue since the alternator is not 3 stage.

Lifeline'a answer was that they have Lifeline AGMs in trucks being charged day in and day out with alternators and they are still lasting over 3 years. Since I don't charge my AGMs that much I concluded they'll outlast me.
