We like our new rig
By jack manning(Owner), Nov. 2, 2020
Keep in mind that we are first-time rv-ers, looking for adventure since we just retired and can't travel internationally. Rigs were hard to come by, and we bought this one sight-unseen. From a great dealer in Spokane, Appleway. Highly recommend them and their commitment to service.
Seems like a t
...errific motorhome. No problems yet, except ones created by us. Really like the floor plan and big slide out. The slide out creates terrific space. Separate shower which is decent-sized. Queen bed that can be gotten around. Seems to have good storage inside and out. We use the overhead for storage. Nice and functional kitchen set up and appliances.. We like the kitchen table/couches. The bed that can be made in that area is pretty comfortable.
The master control panels seem to be very good and useful, but we still don't know how to use some of the features. Nice ceiling height. The window shades work well and really block out light. The 2 tv's are handy. The awning and lights are very nice and easy to use. The Isata is attractive on the outside.
Our rig came with most features that we wanted. Solar. It had the Winegard wireless extender, but we don't think we've even figured out how to use it.
The mirrors are very good and useful, but the side and rear cameras are hard for us to see, and we really haven't figured out how to use them much. I'd like a lane change beeping-blinking system, like in other vehicles we have. We can't use some of our radar-based systems, because we get a signal saying our sensors are dirty (and we either can't find all of them or can't get them cleaned).
Really like our the Mercedes Sprinter drives and takes corners on the highway. The height and top-heavyness takes time to get used to it. My wife is not excited about driving unless on easy straight roads with no wind.
The Mercedes manual is really horrible and almost useless. Too long, made for multiple vehicles, not written very well, and not understandable. This has led to multiple issues for us.
I plan to inform Dynamax of some things I would change. The shower could be an inch or two wider, and there is room for that. The little cover over the black/gray tank handles needs to be made less breakable. We wish there was a GFI outlet near the bed for things like Cpaps and cell phones, when dry camping. Might be nice to have an outside table hookup.
