She is our forever coach. The first coach we bought was a Coachmen Mirada gas V10 engine. It was so noisy in the cockpit that we could hardly carry on a conversation. If a semi truck passed us we would be pushed aside and then sucked in as it passed. There is so much the Aria has over the Mirada. Rear diesel engine, air ride suspension, air brakes, bluetooth control of everything from your phone, 4 TVs, Winegard wifi hotspot, kitchen size. The air ride makes it float down the interstate. Pure pleasure to drive. The 55" TV just behind the cockpit rises out of the wall. It has a sound bar with subwoofer. It is opposite the home theater reclining seats. Opposite the home theater seats is a sofa that opens into a queen sized bed. There is also a drop down bed over the cockpit. It has so much storage that we don't need. Did I mention a washer/dryer? Oh and 3 Dometic fantastic vent fans that are controlled via your phone. Most of the passenger side of the coach is part of the super slide and the awning is attached to the slide so you don't lose any of it when the slide is out. What else? The inverter/charger powers all of the wall sockets and the refrigerator from the house batteries while not hooked up to shore power and charges batteries when on shore power. There is a solar panel that charges house batteries when not on shore power.

Look at the storage in the basement.

Question on leveling the Aria. I always used Manual in Previous RV. This has that option from the coach but can I access via the App and do from Outside? I like to control each leg by observing outside? P

My Tuscany has two standard outlets in the bay next to the water tank
One is for central vac and the other is available

I prefer manual on the Tuscany and others prefer Auto

I prefer manual as well but prefer to be outside and I can control each leg independently. I don't think I can do that on this 2020 ARIA?

trying to get used to there Thor Aria 3901 and question on the LCI Leveling. We had prior a the hurricane 34j and the LCI was able too independently control each jack. That was easy..This LCI control front 2, back 2 or side to side and you must be in the RV to do this. When leveling this weekend I got it level but went outside and back tire was off the ground. Do you use blocks on the diesel pushers when not on level ground for the tires. At this weight I wasn't sure. Also it seems like the way the hill was I should be side to side first then from to back to level. Does it matter? any other suggestions with these leveling systems.

We auto-level and have never had a problem. I place the jack pads while my wife operates the auto-level.

I always use manual level and rarely have to use an extra step at the entry or blocks. I do use wood blocks when on gravel to keep the jacks from sinking in. Jacks always work in pairs to avoid undue stress on the frames and floors. You should have a bubble level on the pad and of course the arrows light indicating level.

You will want to reprogram the LCI unit when on a flat concrete pad. That way the auto level will find level closer to the ground or quicker. A few folks swear by Auto Level but the majority of long term ( gray beards ) use manual level

I always start side to side level and prefer the bed side to be an inch or so high so just watch my arrow lights. Then tweak front to back just a bit leaving the front low as possible.

On a typical camp site my bottom step is 4-7 inches from the ground

Look in the slide through compartment. Should have that and a propane fitting

We use auto. once we had the front wheel off the ground so lowered, pulled forward and backed over about an inch of plastic block pad. The Micheline book stated never to have tire off the ground.

Do it, we did and love it.
