You might want to talk to someone who has recently ordered or call GD as far as what tires you get. When I ordered, GD still offered Goodyear G614s as an upgrade, so I went with those.
Not too sure on the backup camera either. Mine has the mount and wire for one, but I didnt really see the need for one. There were probably a few times it would have come in handy, but I either have a spotter with me or i just get out and look if I'm not 100% sure what is behind me.

We have a new 2020 395, we bought the model for the same reason (The living room layout) we looked at many units and wanted a 5th that would sit as many as it would sleep, a fixed dinette so there was no screwing around removing tables and a full size garage. We have a Harley and a golf cart. The only thing GD could have done better is add a storage cabinet that you can reach. The rig has been great the generator keeps up with the HVAC and needs when needed. Tows great and still on the lower side of weight for a triple axle unit. Not crazy about the Kitchen layout on the 2021, Pantry seems like a difficult place for use vs. the 2020. We will be adding a Kayak system on the back door in the spring. We tow with a 2020 SRW Chevy 3500 diesel. I also chose to go with the pullrite 2600 setup. at the time they did not have a slide hitch for it. If you have a dually its not an issue.

Thanks for the info! I'm also trying to figure out what the best 5th wheel hitch is for the ram puck system. I don't need a slider as I have the dually 8' bed. Do you have any thoughts about the full body paint? 12k seems to pay for a lot of maintenance on the gel coat...

Full body paint looks great, I do not see any advantage to maintenance other than they. Are easier to wax. I do not have full body paint but I did add the body conditioning option which is warranted for quite some some and it does work. I wash my trailer RV a good UV resistant soap and it looks like new everytime. No fade starting. I did beat the heck out of the dealer on the cost also. It cost me 10% of that. I love my Pullrite 2600, It is anchored to the goose ball in your puck system and the hitch weighs 80#. It converts your pin box to a goose ball, You can hitch up to this thing at any angle and tows like a dream. The only thing I may change in the future when I retire and am using the trailer for full time is going to the dually.[ATTACH=CONFIG]30985

Thanks for the info! I've heard that from several people. I'm trying to weigh that against the 5 year warranty on surface and stickers from GD +/- getting the ceramic coating done. Also, I was wondering if painting it down the road when the gel coat and stickers start to age would be as expensive as the factory paint. Just trying to figure out the most cost effective route for the long run.
