I live full time in a 2008 W&P 34 FK. 2 items to keep in mind about any Work and Play: It is a 3 season trailer period. The FRP walls are solid plywood and have a very low R value. The plumbing and tanks are exposed and no easy way to enclose or heat it. The roof is only R-9
The nature of FRP is well known in the trucking industry. If any leaks that occur around the roof seams or openings will rot the plywood around the immediate area. The aluminum roof is constructed in such as way as to cause an enormous lake of standing water, just asking for a poorly maintained seam to cause problems.
That being said, I love my Work and Play. Maintain the roof seams, park the unit when unused intentionally out of level front to back so the water drains off the roof and the rest of the unit is good to go. No higher capacities in the industry and dirt simple to work on.
