And Pleasure Way just announced/started adding 200ah Lithiums to their 2016 vehicles (as standard I think). That could be in response to RT or maybe it was in the works for awhile at PW and rumors...

Booster is right - actual cost may well have nothing to do with selling price.

Cabinets are standard, i.e. in the base MSRP, and they had to choose some type of veneer as standard. Can't price...

There is a Zion with rear sofa for sale at Fretz (PA). Here are photos with the rear doors open (plus one of full bed fyi), but difficult to see if there is room for a tire lying flat.

I agree.

But I could see Promaster based RV's, like a Zion with 200AH EcoTrek + 200W solar for just under $100k MSRP. A Zion with solar, under hood generator, TV and upgraded cabinetry prices at...

I wonder if the EcoTrek packages themselves are upgradable by dealer. So if I get my new RT with the 400 EcoTrek, can the dealer later upgrade me to an 800 EcoTrek? Or a 200 EcoTrek to a 1600...

Gryphon

That's how I add them up.

So if I wanted a Zion with Ecotrek 400 + 200w solar, that would be $4992 + $2370 = $7362 above base MSRP of $86931?

Standard batteries on Zion are "One (1)...

Never - buy the first version, buy the initial stock offering, buy the first edition, or - IMHO - be an early adopter. It will all sort itself out.

I like the dealers taking the lead on this. I think if the dealer really thinks he has (and can demonstrate to RT) the expertise to do the retrofit, then RT should let them. RT can then look over...

Thank you Booster.

I was beginning to think maybe one 200-300W panel would do it. Underhood generator instead of separate gas or LP generator.
