A lot depends on your personal preferences and usage will be. But one thing that is not listed as an option on the website and that dealers/salesmen may not even know about are that there are "pink list" items that can be added during a build. One we had added at the factory for a LOT less then having the dealer do afterwards are slide toppers.

If you think you want those, have your salesman have them added to your order as a "pink slip" item. Our salesmen didn't know they could do that until I pushed him to call Jayco. When we had them added to our 330RSTS Eagle TT last year, all 3 slide toppers came to 675.00 where the dealer quoted well over 2 grand for the same thing.

But in my opinion, out of all the "regular" options listed, a 2nd AC is a must. It not only comes in handy on very humid/hot days, but even if you normally would only use one, you have a backup if one of them quits. In other words, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Since we are seasonal and are always where full hookups are, the other options we chose were dual pane windows (mainly for noise reduction and limited additional insulation), residential refrigerator (we can stock up for longer stays but problematic for boondocking), table and chairs instead of dinette (personal preference for just us 2), recliners instead of theater seating (again, personal preference but I think recliners are now standard and theater seating is optional), 16" tire upgrade (mandatory now I believe), tankless water heater (again, not good for boondocking but love my 30 minute + showers on occasion), 2nd awning (can leave the pop up canopy at home now), 2nd battery (for the residential refrigerator). Missed out on auto leveling by a couple of weeks (regular option on 5er's) but would have ordered it if available, and was on the fence about the Sanicon Turbo system because I already own a FloJet portable unit for times that I need to pump out to my 42 gal. Barker tank or the toilet at home.

Like I tell everyone, always always always get the 2nd AC unit and if there is a 3rd ac option get it too.

My favorite options are pin box upgrade, auto leveling, gen prep, dual pane windows. And the 2nd AC unit.

We love the theater seating option as well. Basically a love seat with recliners. Very comfortable and had cup holders and the arm rest has a storage pocket under it with soft close hinges.

In our 2016 321 RSTS the theater recliners our already broke down. I think there construction is press board plastic and card board.Have two month left on warranty. Going to ask for a credit and buy two Lazy Boys! Best of Luck
