    What are the changes since Last Fall: 303RLS?

    Hi All:
    Last year the wife and I spent a lot of time looking and determined the 303rls is the right unit for us at this time. Well the tow vehicle is now on order (F350 SC SRW diesel) so we have plenty of ability for the 303 (if not more later on). Now we need to determine do we order a 303RLS (leaning that way) or consider a unit on a lot. Our must's are the second awning so it would limit to a unit built since last August. I know in September GD changed the cover for the sink to a split solid surface cover rather then the 1 piece black cover. Somewhere last fall GD changed to self adjusting brakes (don't know the exact dates). I believe January 1st LCI upped the warranty on the axles to 7 yrs and Westlake now has new tire warranties with a 1 yr replacement policy.

    Bottom line, what has GD changed or added between August and now? Based on knowledge of those changes it will help on either negotiations of an existing unit or insistence on ordering a new unit.

    Finally, while the plan is order/purchase in the next month or two, has anyone heard anything about upcoming updates?

    thanks

    They also changed to include a convection oven though I'm not sure of the timing.

    FYI, in talking to the GD rep, the "free 2nd Awning" promotion goes away at the end of March. It will then be a charged option.

    I have a November 2016 built 303RLS.

    Things I have noticed I have that some older 303's didn't:
    1. Convection microwave
    2. Double sink cover
    3. 3 steps to bedroom
    4. Equa-Flex rubberized suspension
    5. Double awning

    Don't know what else...ask specifics and I can look. I'm adding Progressive Industries hardwired EMS today...

    BjornF16, how did your Progressive Industries EMS install go. Where did you locate it, and did you have any problems.

    We saw a 2019 303rls with a window over the stove. Ours does not have this. The other changes we saw were cosmetic and I can't really remember what they were. Our coach was built 10/2017 and I don't recall their build date but they purchased only a month later than we did. My wife liked the window but if I recall, it was brought up on the forum about adding it and it was commented that it wasn't feasible.

    Rapid1,
    I contacted GD on adding the window in my 303, build late Oct 17. You are correct on not being able to add the window. GD said there is no framing on the older units and advised against it. (Yes, my wife saw the window, and almost made me trade ours just due to the window. I got out of that, barely.).

    We just picked up our 2019 and it does have the window over the stove. I was trying to find a 2018 to maybe get a better deal. But when we saw the '19s with the window,Had to have it.
    Its not very big but it helps add light in that area.

    Do the 2019’s still have the window in the wardrobe slide out?
