Can definitely tell the difference. We love them. We had them place on the rig at the rally.

I am among the "1%" RW owners that is an engineer and should have not have purchased my RW until a mandatory class on towing and and weights had been completed. As an EE I specified components that had the required spec's. I didn't test each of the components as I depended upon the manufacturer's UL /CSA certifications. Most do not buy electrical components then run safety testing at Home Depot. We trust that the component is safe when used as intended. I wrote a check north of $120K for the RW and another $65K for the first tow vehicle. Without adding a paper plate to my RW it was 2,000# heavier than what was on the hand written "certified weight" label posted at the switch/monitor panel. So, in the interest of safety, and excellent weighing by the Escapees, at the RW rally I changed to my current truck ($75K+). Considering sales taxes on two truck's, depreciation on the first truck, suspension upgrades, tire and rim upgrades and replacing the drum brakes with disc brakes on our RW I could have paid $10,000 for a mandatory class and been way ahead of the game. Really hard lesson regardless of an engineering degree. Thank goodness no one was injured while I learned the hard way. We love our RW however there has been some tough love along the way.

I ordered mine with disc brakes but at the time the factory rep said that they were having problems with the hydraulic controllers working with the trucks brake controllers so he said he recommended not getting them & I didn't know better, but I got them now.
We also didn't get the slide in a slide as the rep said they were have issues them also.

I have had mine apart to fix the washer drain. There is more room for storage under there if you remove the 1/4" ply wood and installed 1/2" on a hinge and struts. I have not done this yet as it will just add more weight to that side and am already 750 lbs heavier than the door side

I've added the 1/2" plywood to my bed (probably very little heavier than the 1/4" & "euro box springs") & was able to add a bit of storage at the foot of the bed. The drawers on either side take up most of the room. I added flooring to an area about 3' 6" long x 12-14" wide & added a 12" x 12" door at the foot of the bed.
Sorry to hijack this thread!
Back to the disc brakes.
