Congrats on your purchase! It seems like you went into this with eyes wide open and are prepared for the "modifications" to come. Look forward to seeing you on the road

By the way, I just finished up a bed modification of adding 1.5" of foam into the bed cushions ... wow what a difference!

The 19L is much better designed than the 19P. The 19P forces you to take up the bed everytime that you want to use the table. The 19P also wastes space by not allowing you to make use of the driver's and passenger's seat for dining. All that we could get was a 19P and this is our first RV, so we didn't know better.

I now would not go with a Class B with a wet bath. In over seven weeks of a cross-continental and back trip I used the toilet exactly once for anything other than a pee. We never used the shower. A well designed portapotty would have been much better and given us much more useable room and a permanent bed for multi-day stays.

Have they fixed the window problem? Are they still providing defective door screens (with the zipper, which should allow the screen to be rolled up, on the wrong side of the magnetic closures so it can't be rolled up)? They told our dealer that it was not defective, which it clearly is.

I just ordered a 3" thick Queen size Infused memory foam Mattress topper for $ 99. from Viscosoft ( short Queen size was not on sale ). $ 100 off with select Toppers using code , slumber22, if anyone is interested . I looked & all the seats cushions have zippers , but us stuffing them of swapping out the foam material looks like it would be too much fun .

Don't like hauling around a rolled up mattress topper , but it will make for a more enjoyable sleep for us .

Good sleep makes for a good trip. Hope it makes the difference you are hoping for.

Has to be better then just the seat cushions lol

I am going to try to post a video soon, but in a nut shell, I removed all the seats and added the foam into the existing pockets for the side seats. The rear couch seat needed to have the entire cover removed, but again not too hard.

Thanks , the 3" Charcoal Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper feels wonderful just laying on it , true test will be an all night sleep on it . Its bulky ,but really not heavy & we rolled it up into a Tube & I have (3) straps we put around it to keep it a Tube shape .It can be rolled up tighter with two people rolling it up , but can be done by one.

The mattress took almost two days to expand all the way & the only photo I took was right after I opened it up & put it down . It filled out nicely when expanded to 3" thick , a couple inches of gap along the sides , but length filled from back doors to the end of the Bed, made up . We will see how it works out in a couple of weeks .

We have two Dogs with us all the time camping, ( one is 90#) so the Back seat is folded down & a Weathertech cover is on it for them . They get to stick their heads out when driving & the rolled up Topper is up against the rear Doors , out of the way .

As far as when the back Seat is back in the upright position & we are going to use the Table , I plan on putting the Topper in the Driver 's area up front , otherwise it can stay up against the back Doors .

We just purchased a 2023 Sanctuary for cross country trips and
some off-grid adventure motorcycle trips as well. Although the dealer, during the selection process and the delivery orientation, assured us that we could easily install a roof rack, I cannot see how this is possible with all the equipment up there already. Has anyone added one to their rig?

Thanks.

Can you disclose your source for this? Great idea.

Based upon my own personal experience with my previous Tranquility, there is little room for anything but the equipment that is installed. Secondly, never believe anything the dealer tells you.

Ha, agreed!

We have a 2023 Sanctuary 4x4 with 16” wheels and Michelin all season tires. I’d like to find a cheap (steel?) spare setup…what are you folks using and where did you purchase? I will likely move to 17” when these have some wear and hopefully still be able to use the same 16” spare. Between the 4x4 and new Vancompass 4.3 suspension, these 16s look like matchbox wheels😎

Thanks.

When we connect to city water at a campsite in our Sanctuary, I presume we should not use our water pump. I’m not sure how we get hot water through our Truma furnace if the water pump is off though. What am I missing?

Water pump not needed with city water. The city water flows through the water heater just like it came from the onboard tank through the water pump.

None of the DC voltage devices work on the coach.

I flipped the rotary house power switch off and on. The safety relay switch was not popped open, and nothing happened when I cycled the switch on and off.

I noticed a on/off switch and circuit breaker reset button on the back of the Mastervolt box thats on the far left of the garage compartment. Nothing happened when I toggled the on/off switch and the breaker was not popped.

What am I missing here?

thanks!
