I wonder if they will offer a combo w/d option in a gas C? Seems like laundry is only ever available in the diesel 'super' C's.

I really think that Jayco will not hit one out of the park 'till they allow folks to pick their options on their Motor-homes.
We looked at the Grayhawks, but their was just so much stuff that we neither needed or wanted, such as in-dash navigation system, side view cameras, tank-less water heater, ceiling lights that you can't change the bulbs in, leveling system, etc.
I've always thought that they should just offer a Jayco Hawk Class C, and let the buyer outfit it anyway they wanted (wow, customer first... what a concept).
We ended up getting a Redhawk, and having the dealer add the slide toppers and thermostatically controlled roof hatch fans. Would have gotten dual pane windows if they offered them from the factory.
Perhaps someday....

The diesel platform will be interesting, but with the 200 already starting in the low 100K range it's not going to come cheap.

That huge cabover glass will be a giant heat collector in a coach that already struggles with it's 15K BTU A/C. Hopefully, it will be equipped with 50 amp service and 2 Air Conditioners. Even then, Cargo carrying capacity will be severely impacted.

Yes I agree a great heat source and something to knock out with a campground tree ha. The reason they got away from a front window before was leak problems and they go back to same design

Too bad those committees didn't consult the real consumer... just company execs that think they know a whole lot more 'of what the consumer wants' than we do.

Sounds likes Jayco/Thor is trying to answer what Forest River did with the Isata 5, maybe.

To Me, this was the big disappointing news : Jayco effective July 1 became a subsidiary of Thor Industries Inc.
Over the years we have seen Thor purchase a number of brands and not long after that brands quality went in the toilet... we purchased our Jayco because of it's Family Brand, looks like that no isn't a reason to buy Jayco... Sad
