At first blush, all the power doodads for the Classic (and others?) seem impressive, but from a practical standpoint I'd rather keep it simple - all those electrical gadgets are just waiting not to work when you need them!
Lets not make changes, only improvements! Concentrate on eliminating things such as water leaks, filiform corrosion and rotting wooden floors say I ! Seems to me also that some of the new features in the new classic are eliminating storage space. Guess I am just getting more grumpy in my old age! Brian.

Maybe it's just me but I've tried half a dozen times to view the FC video posted by Patrick and all I get is Page Not Found.

Just google it and you'll find it on you tube. It doesn't look all that different, but I'll admit I know more about the Internationals. Different ultra leather and roller shades.

Yeah Google worked. Looks pretty much the same as the 2014.

Some features of the new Classic I like, others I don't.
No blue striped awning Different tail lights with no reverse lights Side bath Less storage No credenza No Zip Dee chair storage No folding tables No curtains Why couldn't they make the trailer like mine minus the mouse fur, padded vinyl ceiling, and wallpaper?

On the plus side, the 16" wheels, ducted A/C, power reclining sofa seats, oven and stove top look like wins. |

I would guess all the powered gear adds weight, though it does look cool.
