charming - Welcome to the RV.net forums and the long running thread for B+ motorhomes (primarily Trail-Lite). Hope you have the same good experience that almost 100% of us have had with our Trail-Lites. From your description, I am guessing your Model is a 293TS, is 29'-4" long, with a 199" wheelbase, Gross Combined Weight Rating of 17,600 lbs, and a 57 gallon fuel tank. I fully understand the space issue in the drivers seat. I am 6'-3" and really did not like the Ford cab interior space. When talking about the ability to store things, you are much safer with not having too much room as you can easily overload your unit. The 293TS has a maximum weight rating of 14,050 lbs (GVWR).
