hdrider, In my case I was at the Western Regional Rally in Lake Havasu City, AZ in April. The Regional Sales Rep was there as well as the General Manager from DRV. They both told us that they would NOT produce a 36RSSB3 with a split bathroom. So we decided to place an order for a 36RSSB3 and NOT get the split bathroom. One day later DRV changed their mind and we ended up getting the split bathroom. We had to pay extra but we got what we wanted. We deleted the dishwasher, and added shelves to that space and added shelves to the W/D closet. We added a small window to the bedroom slide on the left side facing the headboard. Have to pay for that addition also. They'll work with you but you have to pay extra for the engineering changes and supplies. If you can get in touch with your Region Sales Rep through the dealer, that helps. Another choice is to contact Alecia at Rolling Retreats, she does lots of modifications and knows what can or can't be done. Walt

OK, thanks for those comments, we will take a harder look at them then. WE certainly don't mind paying for what we want which is why when we were told no at the factory we switched gears and started looking at New Horizon 5th wheels, you certainly pay for what you want with them but as you sad, you get what you want.

Yup, We have a dishwasher in our current motorhome and sure like it. IT will be a must in our next rig as well.

We thought long and hard about the Dishwasher and decided we would rather have draws instead of the Dishwasher. DRV is adding draws to the dishwasher space. We have a dishwasher at home and rarely use it. By the time you wash the pots and pans you can wash a few dishes. Weird as it might sound, neither one of us minds doing dishes!!!

No wrong or right in this life style. For us we carry enough dishes for 3 days of eating and all of those fit in the dishwasher so no need to hand wash each day or have dishes sitting out which drives me bonkers. And the washer uses 2 gallons per load which make my wife happy.

We had a dishwasher in our last two 5v'ers, even had a full sized portable in the garage of the Raptor. We simply wouldn't be without it!

I R&R the dishes every morning while my coffee is brewing. I wash even the largest pots and pans. Very impressed with the capacity. IMHO we have plenty of cabinet space and have been full timing in this DRV for 3 years.

Have them add a shelf under the sink. That will add more storage space.

Cummins, Thank you for your experience with the dishwasher. We did have DRV add a mid shelf under the sink. After we get the new trailer I'm going to add shelves to the entertainment center cabinets. I don't like the way DRV stacks the components one on top of the other. IMHO they should be separated for air circulation and looks. I added shelves to my present 32RS3 entertainment center cabinets and it looks much nicer. Walt

Walt you may want to add a cooling T-stat and axial fan. Pulls air thru gaps around doors of center cabinet and pushes air out of the left cabinet.

Cummins, Thank you for the picture and idea. I take it you had to cut a hole through the divider wall? What kind of T-stat is that? I thought about putting some kind of fan in the cabinet as my Dish Network DVR puts out a lot of heat. In fact when I've forgotten to turn on the AC in very hot weather, and leave the RV for the day, the DVR shuts down. I'm getting anxious to get the new trailer so I can start doing some of these things. If it's not too much trouble could you take some pictures of the entertainment center cabinets with the doors opened up. I'm curious to see how DRV is stacking the components. Do you have a satellite receiver in the left cabinet? Thank you and have a nice day! Walt

Cummins, Sorry to bother you with more questions. Is there enough space in the left entertainment cabinet to fit the Dish Network DVR? Which cabinet does the satellite cables come in. I had DRV add an extra HDMI cable, to my new trailer, from the TV to the entertainment center cabinet, don't know which cabinet they'll pick, so I can hook the TV directly to the Dish receiver. I did this in my present trailer to bypass the switch box they used to use. Thank you, Walt

No not enough room is left of center cabinet for Dish receiver. Personally like all the components in one location. Good call on the HDMI, I had to fish one in for my Dish setup.My cables come into bottom back center cabinet then into left cabinet to distribution points. I fished my HDMI down thru the left cabinet to the TV.
