I work from home and am doing so in our RV now. I can work anywhere so I go where the wind takes us. I'm growing very tired, very quickly, of working at the kitchen table and am looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel with more space and an area I can either put a small office or at least a fold down table that can be closed off from the main living area. My wife and two small dogs are with me and I want them to be able to stay in the living area separated from me.So far Redwood has a real nice option with the 38RB, it looks like they will even install a desk and cabinets back there if requested. We've also considered Toy Haulers with small garages that could easily be converted. This would also be ideal however most of them only have a mediocre kitchen and a big couch with a portable table for the living area. This just won't work. Lastly there are the units with the bunks. If that are is small enough it could be converted but I'm not interested in wasting a lot of space for an office (only have about 40' to work with after all) so I feel most bunk options take too much away from the rest of the coach.Seeing how we're just starting out looking for these I thought I'd query the group to see if they'd ever come across anything that might work. BTW, we're looking for new or very close to new for a variety of reasons.

JimTrue on both accounts, you left out expensive. We're wanting to keep this well under $100K and preferably in the 60-70 range after negotiations. For the most part our 16K rating should work for our price point and needs. Some of the Toy Haulers are rated to 18K with 5K of cargo, we'd never even come close to that cargo so I'm ok with those.

cedar creek has a new model with a rear room aeperate entrance with it sounda like what you want.

there is a recent thread by somebody who wanted to replace his lounge chair and desk with a J sofa. maybe work out some kind of a deal and put the chair/desk into yours.bumpy

This also reminds me that occasionally I've seen RV's with a small desk built into the bedroom, that would work nicely as well if anyone can recall one of those. I know the Viewfinder travel trailer had that but it's likely too small for us now.

Our Teton had a desk in the bedroom....was Terry's ham shack. They are out of business and very heavy, tho a smaller one might work for you.
