Question about sway and wind on my brand new Omni BH35

[Party of 5]

Thanks Grey and Judge,
Great advice and input, definitely gives me some options. I'm going to try and use Texas' price as leverage. Hopefully my dealer will come down a little. Do your rigs have the washer/dryer combo? I just found out the 2022 Omni BH35 will be outfitted for a washer/dryer combo, of course, they're more expensive. It's not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to have it available and not have to worry about waiting in line at a campground. Any thoughts? Of course, I can go old school and do like my grandmother and hang clothes at our campsite

I live in NW Missouri and went to Tampa FL last may to purchase our XG32, saved a little over $23k vs buying from a dealer here, and that same dealer here has done the warranty work on the new RV without any issues.

The washer / dryer prep was the only thing missing on my 2020 SV34 I wish it had. My wife is actually ok without it but I would have preferred to have it.

That being said... let me give you some advise based on what I have learned the past couple years.

I would not add a washer / dryer to a full wall slide. If I could redesign the Omni / Magnitude the first change I would make would be to get rid of the single full wall slide in favor of two smaller slides (except for the XG32 since it has a smaller slide as a shorter coach). Yes.... it would raise the price of the coach but I would gladly pay the difference.

The full slide wall has a lot of weight on it as it is and then adding the weight of a washer/dryer combo only set yourself up for more potential slide problems down the road.... at least that is what I think.

After I had a full wall slide with plumbing in it in my Winnebago Vista I resolved not to have another unit with those “features”. I ended up with a Newmar with a full wall slide but without plumbing. Newmar uses a proprietary slide mechanism that I was (am) convinced is up to the challenge. So far so good.

My wife doesn't care if the rig has a washer/dryer, but I was hoping it would. Not sure its worth the extra money at this point. I just checked the diagram on the 2022 BH35 and noticed it is located on the large slide. It looks like I would lose the pantry or most of the place. I initially thought it was located in the bathroom's cabinet, in the back of the rig, and not on the slide.

I went to General RV and they price matched TX. I just said, I’m ready to fly down and get one. What can you do so I don’t have to make the trip? I got what I wanted locally. Now TX price is almost 20k more than last summer.
