New Build Options Opinion
When ordering a new LD, what options were worth getting, or what options do you wish had been added at the time of build?

Hi Wingersky, check out this thread for a previous discussion on options:

Sam,
We like almost everything about our 27MB.  However, I really dislike the automatic entry step and have replaced the motor twice.  When I pull over on a city street and park parallel, we always worry that it will jam against the concrete curb.  I would much prefer a manual step.  We don't watch television, so our Satellite TV system has never been used.  Everything else is great.

This may be a bit like tire and engine oil threads where one person hates something and another loves theirs.  YMMV,

According to the Lazy Daze Pocket Guide's "Changes" section, "As of March/April 2008: Styrofoam slab insulation replaces fiberglass (quieter and offers 15% better R value)."
