My prior coach was a Forest River and other than a major issue with the awning extending while driving on the interstate I had a decent experience with them. I will say their customer support is nowhere near the level of Thor but the overall coach quality was about the same. The awning issue was Dometic's fault for writing installation instructions with incorrect wiring connections. There was a nationwide recall on that one about 55 or 6 years ago.

I'm pretty sure the bed has a 110 outlet on each side of the pedestal like the 3901. Looking at pictures available on the web, it seems that there are 2 emergency exit windows, one in each bathroom.

Thanks
From what I've seen, as I am looking at pics, there is no window in the forward bathroom. And that now raises a question about ventilation. Is the exhaust fan in that bathroom sufficient if/when someone is taking a hot shower?

I have never opened the window in our 3901 rear bath when showering. The fan works very well. You can definitely feel the air coming under the door. Feels like it might suck in small animals.

Yesterday we looked at the Coachmen Sportcoach 407FW and we were not impressed. We drove 150 miles (each way) and did not like anything about the rig. We going inside it looked cheap and it felt cheap.
We looked at, again, and actually test drove an Aria 4000 today. The difference between the 2 coaches is remarkable. Right now the major issue we have with the Aria is the lack of child safety seat tethers at the booth seating area. This would be an issue if we wanted to take the grand kids along for a ride.
Test drive was 25 miles. It included about 10 miles in town at speeds of 25 - 25 and 15 miles of interstate at 65 MPH. No issues with handling at all.

Hi Dave, we have the 2019 Aria 4000 and love it, even with its teething issues. Yes, there are 110v outlets in the master bedroom; no, there is no window in the mid-bath. 2 emergency windows-in the rear over the commode and I believe also the lower bunk. The ceiling fans work great! No issues with condensation lingering with the fans pulling the air around. Open the front and rear when in motion to provide good air flow front to back. It also rides great on those airbags-much different from our two previous gassers (on the F53 chassis).
Our next road trip starts this week so it might be 10 days before we can reply further.
As an aside, I'm an old Army Sergeant myself-thanks for your Service!
GVP

I just bought the Aria 4000, 2021. Still figuring out some things. Anyone know where the 12vdc breaker box/ fuse box is? I'd like to turn off the furnaces and water heaters. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Great looking coach. Have you downloaded the schematics from Thor on your coach yet? You can enter your vin in the owner's area and get all of them. You should be able to find it.

I did but no luck. It doesn't show where it is in the coach on the diagrams.

Pretty much all your 12V breakers are in your Firefly panel. I haven't looked at the 4000, but in the 3901 they are in the cabinet under the rear bathroom sink. You should be able to turn them off just using the firefly system though.

Are you referring to the Rapid Camp + panel? It lists the different circuits but doesn't seem to allow you to turn them off or on from there. I'll check under the back sink. Thanks.

Sorry I was unaware that the 2021's had changed from the Firefly to Rapid Camp, but I believe the Rapid Camp should have all of your climate controls and water heater controls also.

Yeah nothing to turn off the furnaces they turn on all by themselves.

Just ordered a new Thor Aria 3901 and will try to private party sell my trade in, a 2019 Windsport 34J. I am curious how I should handle allowing potential buyers to test drive my coach. Does anyone have any thoughts?
