Wondering if for that kind of money, and all those power options if they will finally be doing something about the outdated, cheap single stage converter-charger ?

One would hope so to justify a nearly 27% increase in price ($25,603 more than the list price for the 2014 Classic model 30) while removing many of the details that made the Classic a Classic.

The option list is identical between the years, but there will be price increases. I would expect that a loaded list price could crowd $135,000 with fright.

The OP keeps mentioning a new TBA system which will be in the Classic, Flying Cloud, and Serenity models.

Maybe the system is a brand new charging, batteries, and inverter system.

Just waiting to see whether they also swapped out the infamous Parallax converter.

I'm a "feature" junkie, so I really like this new model! The adjustable bed is perfect when my wife serves me breakfast.

Some of the changes almost looks too "Prevost" though. Is that a bad thing?

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!

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.

What was the new system that was to be announced? You mentioned it several times but I never saw what it was.

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?

It looked to me like there were reverse lights inside the tail lights. There appears to be clear white glass circles in each tail light. My guess is that they light white when backing.
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.
