We have a 2021 343VIK. Based on color scheme and a couple of others things we believe that ours was made more like the 2020. We do not have the iRV panel. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is something that can be installed after market?

I confirmed that the 2021 343vik does have this panel, odd that yours doesn't. Based on the complexity of this panel I would seriously doubt this would be an easy add on. What kind of panel do you have now?

We have a variety of rocker switches all over the front wall as you come in. Some are in sets of 2, others in sets of 3 (slides). It is somewhat messy to me. Also our tank level indicators are in the bathroom with the water heater and water pump switch. We know it’s a 2021 (title and registration), but I think it was made before they added the iRV panel and changed the color scheme as ours has the dark wood throughout the camper. I love the camper and I don’t mind the darker wood, but I kind of feel like we got a little screwed with the technology.

Blumoon, Our 333VFK is like your rig. Ours was one of the last with the rocker switches, colors ,etc. before Venture came out with "updated" features. I think you could do the Irv panel ,but agree it might be a lot of wiring, and cosmetic work on the wall with the existing switches. It might be possible to add the panel by cutting in the wires to the switches, adding them to the new panel and still leaving the existing rockers and switches functional as a "back up". Will be following what you encounter and do.

I will let you know what we decide. I am going to ask our dealer first to see if it can be done. I do like the darker wood and would probably have picked it over the white if I was custom ordering, but I admit to having a little envy with the lighter fabric designs, the newer dresser in the bedroom, and of course, the technology upgrade.

Wanted to come back and give an update. Per our service dealer, he has not seen and does not think there is an after market option, but suggested that I reach out to Venture. If there is, he did say it would be very complicated to install.
