Nice coach, but be advised you cannot install hardwood floors as they are too thick and you must use a laminate with a drop floor slide.
If you take the dinette apart the screws are put in from the rear and mostly hidden well, but a stud finder solves the search issue.
The carpet you refer to as dated is one of the most expensive carpets per foot on the planet and is much more durable than you can ever imagine. If you need a new wood laminate talk to Ernie who is on this site or Tommy Key at Newell. Both can clue you in on price and time.
This DD 60 pre EGR is considered the best and more were installed in the US than any counterpart in the 20 years prior to EPA changes. If the computer was updated as it is mandated by DD you will have electronic problems as I know others with 04's and 05's had after a forced upgrade. My DD in Florida lets me slide on the mandate as they agree it ruins performance. I have had the Cummins you speak of in another coach and was not nearly as pleased as with the performance of my DD 60 Turbo the past 4 years. Good Luck with your purchase..
