This is the best floor plan for living that we have ever found. We like the large kitchen, residential fridge, open floorplan to the living and entertainment from the kitchen. TV facing reclining theatre seating is great, plus two full size pull out couches for occasional guests are very convenient. This RV has a large 30"x60" shower with skylight. The bedroom has 2 separate chest of drawers, divided closet, w/ extra shelving, a security safe, and Dyson cordless vacuum. On board washer and dryer, makes life on the road so much easier. The powered King Jack antenna provides over the air channels to a 30" smart TV in the bedroom and 55" smart TV in the living room. It's easy to setup with 6 point autolevel and hydraulic slideouts.

We moved out of a larger home into this unit and it's been great. I recommend going mobile to anyone, especially if you have a rig like this.

I would have given quality and warranty a 0 has it been an option. Workmanship is terrible. Microwave is mounted flush against the left side thus rubbing the wall and making the door misaligned. The “wood” is actually contact paper so when you clean it, it lifts up. The trim is either cut short or long so nothing matches up. The carpet is loose and rippled everywhere. This has been lived in full time ( for only about 11 months total) and the slides have not been slid in and out enough to blame the loose carpet on that. The self leveling no longer works. One of the hydraulic jacks has sprung a leak. The design of the ac ducting is terrible. The air flow is minimal. The hot water heater mysteriously came on without being in the on position. I had to remove the 12v fuse to turn it off. The list goes on and on. The extended warranty purchased only covers if the unit is hauled into the dealer. Not easy when you live in it and don’t have a truck. I would not recommend purchasing this unit. Go less expensive without the bells and whistles. You’re not really getting what you pay for. Renovate a less expensive unit with real wood etc.
