total update
I am looking forward to posting picture of my coach as soon as work is completed.
Left it with Donnie Myers RV Service in Sanford, FL. Donnie is the “man” in the southeast for Prevost service from my experience. He does amazing work and does exactly what was agreed to without my having to look over his shoulder.
We considering trading for a new coach, but really did not see anything that made us feel it would be that great of improvement over what we already had. I was especially disappointed in how much space is lost due to the new engine emmissions equip.
We decided that even though our coach has hit the 100,000 mile mark it has been meticulously maintained and most of the bugs are long gone. Looking at the trade difference ours started looking a lot better.
We had our coch built new in 2006. It was starting to look old inside to us even though we had changed carpet out and some of the fabrics several times. Donnie is going to pull out all of the flooring and install hardwood throughout. He is going to remove anything polished brass which looks dated to me and replace with satin nickol. This becomes quite a project as it involves toe kicks, cabinet pulls, shower enclosure, ceiling detail, and on and on. We chose all new fabrics, new refrigerator, and on and on.
I am mosty excited about what we are doing to the exterior. Donnie is changing the front and rear caps as well as all of the fender wells to look like a 2013 model. He has obsessed about every detail and it is really starting to take shape.
Will post pictures as soon as it is further along

One other major change that Donnie Myers performed was to the AMX control system. It was starting to give us problems. He removed the complete system and replaced it with an RTI system. The RTI system works flawlessly from the display controllers, my iphone, or ipad. My wife picked up the controller and operated everything without any instructions. Highly recommend this anyone having problems with AMX, crestron, etc.

My wife and I have talked about this as well. Ours is new enough and doesn’t have all of the smog equipment, so why not keep it? One thing you are sure of is losing your shirt when you trade or sell. So, perhaps in a couple of years…..
Perhaps you, or others, could give some idea of what these things cost. I considered taking it to Chicago and having Liberty redo all of the interior stuff that you see and install new electronics, but the guys in Stuart said that they wouldn’t want to pull workmen off of the line to do it. I think it’s more likely that the Stuart guys would like to sell another….

In your remodel, did you upgrade the Crestron system to the newest available? Wondering if anyone has upgraded an existing Crestron system??
Given difficulties with programming, does it require the converter to perform the upgrade of processor and touch pads or converting those to ipads? assumed the required Samsung smart tv’s will be required…
Have a Happy New Year and safe travels!!

Getting a Crestron system updated is not hard by itself. The hard part is if you do not have the original program files. Without them, the whole system has to be done basically from scratch.
I have done several upgrades to mine, but I had all the files for the dealer to work with. I am told that Liberty will not give this info out, so you may have to go back to them for updates etc.
I believe that the original poster said that he had the AMX system and replaced it with RTI. I doubt he had any Crestron stuff in addition to the AMX.
