I have the 2008 34' SuperNova. I looked at the 2009 this morning at the dealer close to my house. There are several changes in the new models over my year old unit. The sky cap is quite nice. It has a cover that can be snapped into place to keep the heat out. With the sky cap comes a nice overhead bunk area with fiberglass surround. The unit I saw had the 8000 Onan and neither I nor the my salesman could figure out why you would need it. My 6000 Onan runs both a/c units, fridge, both TV's and microwave all at once so I do not know the benefit of the 8000.
The things I did not like about the newer models where (1) the monitor and slide controls have been moved from near the bath to over the pedestrian door. I frankly like the old location better because I can see both slides being opened and closed from that position. The new position does not allow view of the bedroom slide operation. (2) the old TV's were completely enclosed in a maple wood frame. The new models have the swivel along with the inverter and cables and wiring exposed and frankly look like they were just not finished out. (3) although I like the new 12 gallon water heater, I do not like the fact that it takes most of one full storage cabinet which reduces your overall outside storage capacity.
I do like the new upgraded dash inserts. The built in dirt devil vacuum is a nice touch. The fantastic fan had a control knob on the wall rather than having to reach up to the fan to control the speed and direction. The one I looked at had wood panel door on the fridge and it looked like it was a nice option.
I have the arctic package on my unit. I do not know the cost cause it came with the package I bought. The double pane windows are nice and I guess the heated holding tanks are good but we have not used the coach in cold weather so I cannot attest to the usefulness of the package.
I have over 17000 miles on my coach and am very happy with it. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to post or send me a pm.
